If one take Iodine in larger dosages, the magnesium deficiency that probably more than 80 % of the western population has, may flare up like fireworks; palpitations, tics, insomnia, muscle tensions, cramps and pains etc.

Magnesium deficiency also is involved in kidney stones and pain; a complaint often heard of here at the forum.
Plus; magnesium has a strong link to enzyme function, and without enzymes nothing works within the body; nothing!
Digestion enzymes, endocrine enzymes ++ are magnesium dependent.

But; for the magnesium to work properly; vit B6 and boron are needed (the former for uptake, the latter for balancing magnesium, calcium and vit D.

My fav, magnesium is magnesium chloride hexacloraphan, ie saltwater acquarium additive, sun dried from the ocean.
Also same as nigara, that magnesium used to thicken tofu. Generally sold at oriental food marts. But this is the same formula as the danish study used.
