Magnesium

Magnesium, along with calcium and phosphorus, helps maintain healthy bones, hormonal health, nerve impulses and muscle function. It assists with the production of energy, helping to relieve fatigue. Many people also take magnesium to help treat heart and blood vessel issues. Women in particular benefit hugely from an intake of magnesium, as it can help provide relief from PMS and menopausal symptoms. 

Magnesium supplements are generally well absorbed, particularly chelated forms such as magnesium citrate. Calcium and magnesium are intrinsically linked, too much of one will adversely affect the other, and so they are often recommended together. Taking both calcium and magnesium helps you maximise the benefit of these two important minerals.
