Magnesium is important to over 300 known metabolic pathways. Magnesium sulfate is given to prevent and stop the seizures and high blood pressure associated with eclampsia, pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
There is much evidence that most of us have magnesium deficiency. Estimates range from 30% to over 50%. This deficiency is more prevalent in chronic diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory diseases, and alcohol dependence.
The most common forms are magnesium sulfate and citrate. There has been some press recently about the neurologic and mental health advantages of magnesium threonate. I recently made a fool of myself by being arrogant and making an assumption that threonate was simply a ploy to sell more supplements.
A viewer patiently and politely asked me to investigate more deeply. I did. And I apologized. She was very gracious. And I bought myself some magnesium threonate supplement. I'm taking it now.
