In this podcast, we’re going to talk about magnesium and calcium. I’m going to explain the interesting effect magnesium has on calcium. 

Magnesium is involved in over 350 biochemical reactions. It’s a coenzyme involved in enzyme reactions. It’s also a key electrolyte. 


Magnesium is also involved in:

 • Muscle relaxation

 • Nerve transmission 

 • Fluid balance 

 • pH

 • ATP production

 • Mood 

 • Anti-stress

 • Sleep 

 • Bone physiology 

 • Heart physiology 

 • Supporting insulin


Magnesium is very important. But, up to 60% of the population has a subclinical magnesium deficiency. Subclinical means that it won’t show up on a blood test, but you’re still deficient. The deficiency is inside of the cell. 98% of your magnesium is inside of the cell, not outside of the cell. So, if you get a blood test and find that your magnesium levels are normal in your blood, it may not really mean anything.


 • The RDAs of magnesium for men are 420 milligrams. 

 • The RDAs of magnesium for women are 320 milligrams. 


Good sources of magnesium:

 • Pumpkin seeds 

 • Spinach 

 • Swiss chard 

 • Sunflower seeds

 • Leafy greens 

 • Salmon
