The magnesium (as well as phosphorus and calcium) are necessary for the support of bones and teeth, while, together with calcium, regulate muscle activity: magnesium is a muscle relaxant, while calcium is a muscle stimulant. Magnesium is necessary for the metabolism and synthesis of proteins, for the activation of a large number of enzymes and for the passage of sodium and potassium through cell membranes. Adequate levels of magnesium in the blood protect the cardiovascular system and prevent heart arrhythmias and possibly strokes. Taken as a supplement, magnesium can help with insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, cramps, and cardiovascular problems, such as hypertension or angina, due to coronary artery spasms.
Magnesium supplements help type II (non-insulin dependent) diabetics to regulate their sugar more easily, allowing antidiabetic medications to be reduced and, in some cases, stopped (this should be done with the cooperation of the treating physician). In type I diabetics magnesium is much less effective. Magnesium strengthens the enamel of the teeth, while it is important for the density of the bone mass and the treatment of osteoporosis. Without sufficient magnesium, not enough calcium can be retained in the bones, which thus become more fragile and prone to osteoporosis. Magnesium, on the other hand, keeps calcium in solution, preventing it from building up in the arteries and forming kidney and gallstones. Magnesium, finally, helps to improve the quality of sleep, while reducing the tendency that some people have to grind (grind) their teeth during sleep.

A large number of people suffer from magnesium deficiency or are at risk of such a deficiency. These include people with gastrointestinal diseases (e.g. Crohn's disease), people with prolonged or severe stress, diabetics, alcoholics, as well as users of a significant number of drugs, such as diuretics and antibiotics, especially contraceptives. This, it seems, is why women on the birth control pill have higher rates of blood clots, since magnesium deficiency favors platelet aggregation and clot formation. Magnesium deficiency is one of the main reasons for many cardiovascular diseases, and in many cases also for other pathological conditions, such as depression, insomnia, asthma, irritable bowel, chronic fatigue, premature birth, eclampsia. Because magnesium has antacid properties it is better not to take it after meals, unless the acidity of the gastric juices is increased. Note that many antacids contain magnesium salts. According to several experts it is best to take magnesium with calcium, in a ratio that is usually 1 to 2 (one part magnesium to two parts calcium).
Magnesium does not show toxicity in the usual dosages (200 - 800mg). However, even very high doses are unlikely to cause toxicosis, because excess magnesium is eliminated through the kidneys or by inducing diarrhea (some magnesium-containing laxatives work in this way). Those suffering from kidney failure can easily become toxic from high doses of magnesium, especially if taken over a prolonged period of time.
