Magnesium - Beyond Bioavailability: Bioaccumulation in the Brain 1.2-Fold Higher for Mg-Taurate | No Effect on Muscle

Image
Brainiacs listen up: Magnesium + taurine can also be achieved from a (high seafood) diet. You will remember that the year 2017 saw the publication of the first study to lend credible support to the use of transdermal magnesium . If you go back to my article discussing the results of the study, you will find the following items in the overview of CNS symptoms of magnesium deficiency (48% of the Americans don't get enough Mg | Moshfegh 1997 ): "Nervousness, increased sensitivity of NMDA receptors to excitatory neurotransmitters, migraine, depression, nystagmus, paraesthesia, poor memory, seizures, tremor, vertigo." What you will also find is a figure depicting the effects of administering different forms of magnesium (orally) to rodents on plasma, bone, and red blood cell (#RBC) magnesium levels. Mineral water contains Mg, a lot of other minerals and bicarbonate you don't want to miss: Hydrogen Rich Water = Quackery? Glass of Water Before Meals as Diet ...

Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, E, Folate & Iron: Deficiency Nutrients in the US - 31% are Deficient | Plus: What About Athletes?

Image
Few US citizens get all the nutrients they need from their diets. You may argue that I've addressed this in a previous article. The fact that there's now updated data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)  does yet (IMHO) warrant to take another look at the prevalence of nutrient deficiencies in the US. The bad news first: The study found sign. deficiency rates for all the investigated nutrients: vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate and iron. The good news: It's easy and - with the exception of iron and folate 100% unproblematic to supplement your diet. Looking for more ways to improve your diet? Increase your potassium (K) intake!
