Magnesium is an essential mineral that is found inside your body. In order for you to be functioning at your best, you need normal-to-high levels of magnesium.
You may think there's a different reason why you have chronic headaches, indigestion and even high blood pressure... but did you ever think to check your magnesium levels?
