M A G N E S I U M - why do we need it and how to get it? ✨ Crucial for production of proteins, enzymes, antioxidants (like glutathione), creation of DNA, and RNA. ✨ Magnesium is a cofactor for the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, and when it does not work (or magnesium is not present), we cannot metabolize glucose. In turn, this increases the levels of lactic acid. Lactic acid is a known tumor promoter and initiator, detrimental in the long run and suppresses the utilization of oxygen in our cells. ✨ Without magnesium, we cannot properly use cholesterol to synthesize downstream hormones like testosterone, DHEA, & progesterone. Hence, a sign of magnesium deficiency is elevated cholesterol. ✨ Magnesium bicarbonate helps protect cells from heavy metal poisoning, such as aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, fluoride, etc., and may help with insomnia, headaches, and inflammation. ✨ Up to 90% of Americans have a severe magnesium deficiency, which is akin to diabetes, and it has been found to be at the root of many cardiovascular problems. Sufficient magnesium reserves may help increase memory, focus, and deep relaxation. ✨ Magnesium is needed for six out of the eight steps of the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria to produce energy. Remember, everything needs ENERGY! Drinking magnesium bicarbonate on an empty stomach actually stimulates the production of stomach acid (HCL). My favorite forms of magnesium ranked: ⟡ magnesium bicarbonate (I have one on my xmas list: https://marigoldgift.com/zetabb/christmasbb) ⟡ magnesium glycinate ⟡ magnesium malate ⟡ magnesium chelate
