Naturally, the best way to supplement magnesium is to have a diet rich in whole food and raw food (boiling vegetables can result in significant losses of this mineral)! With modern farmlands the magnesium levels are decreasing even in the organic whole foods! Consumption of alcohol, diuretics, tea, coffee and carbonated drinks will cause body magnesium depletion, which are part of our everyday lif
e! The most efficient form of magnesium supplement is, Magnesium Chloride used transdermally (applied on the skin). This method delivers elemental magnesium right where it's needed the most, in to the cells, avoiding the unpleasant side effects (diarrhea) of oral magnesium supplements. It is a 100% naturally occurring form of magnesium what your body needs ! Magnesium Chloride (Magnesium Oil) could be the best natural answer to this problem. Magnesium oil applied to the skin is the fastest, best way to recover magnesium level on a cellular level! As many as 80% of us are now thought to be magnesium deficient. Less than 1% of the body’s magnesium storage is found in blood serum and yet this is what is commonly used to determine magnesium status. Obviously this makes blood a poor indicator of cellular magnesium and it is at the cellular level that everything happens. Total red cell magnesium is a better indicator than standard serum tests but the best test is a serum ionised test developed by American researcher Dr Bella Altura. Some guidelines can help you understand where you stand with your magnesium level without expensive tests! For example, if you are involved in physical work, sports or use a sauna regularly, if you consume 7 or more alcoholic drinks per week, if you favour white bread over whole grain and drink soft drinks regularly then you may be magnesium deficient. If you regularly eat sweets, suffer muscle cramps and twitches, take HRT or the pill or have high blood pressure you may also be missing magnesium. If you have problems sleeping, have high blood sugar, find that chiropractic adjustments don’t hold or suffer from Coronary Heart Disease then you probably need magnesium.For purposes of cellular detoxification and tissue purification, the most effective form of magnesium is magnesium chloride, which has a strong excretory effect on toxins stuck in the tissues of the body. Transdermal application of magnesium is far superior to oral supplements. It is safer and more convenient than intravenous injections, and allows for far greater assimilation than oral supplements.
