More Magnesium: Soooo Many Health Benefits
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?

Probably not.

Many Americans have no idea that they have low levels of magnesium or what the benefits of magnesium are.

Your body has over 300 enzyme systems that depend heavily on magnesium. The tricky part? Your body cannot produce magnesium on it's own and constantly needs replenishment.

One of the main benefits of magnesium is lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease and your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.

In this segment, Dr. Dennis Goldman shares the top benefits of magnesium and why you should always be aware of your magnesium intake.
