Magnesium.......

I not 100% certain but pretty sure that it’s the presence of magnesium alone that dilates just about every thing. When magnesium is taken as chelate in a food supplement it dilates the blood vessels and is suppose to be good for raynaud's syndrome. At birth it can be administered to dilate the uterus.

It appears to be emerging as a wonder additive and can be consumed in a number of forms either in chelated (bound to) forms. Or inorganic or ionic magnesiums include sulphate, oxide, citrate, carbonate, bicarbonate and chloride.

Some supplement companies make so-called chelated magnesiums but the chelate (bound to) is partial and the raw material contains some percentage of ionized, unbound or inorganic magnesium. Ionized magnesium may cause diarrhea in many users and, therefore, not correct a cellular magnesium deficiency. Diarrhea, or soft stools, caused by any form of magnesium can make a magnesium deficiency worse.

Looks like we all need to take some magnesium after flushing to restore the loss of this electrolyte and possibly others as well.

There is so much to learn!

New Zealand is very deficient in magnesium and the population is supposed to suffer because of it. Iowa City had a water tonic industry based upon its magnesium springs. The problem is that you can't take magnesium on it own because it is a metal so it has to be ingested as a salt or bound to another compound.

Magnesium bicarbonate, for example, is a complex hydrated salt that exists only in water under specific conditions. It does not occur in a solid form. This makes it difficult to distribute. Water containing magnesium bicarbonate is considered to be appropriately mineralised. Indeed, medical research from many countries has demonstrated that people live longer when they drink water that is appropriately mineralised. When consumed, magnesium bicarbonate rapidly enters body cells.

Magnesium Carbonate is the basis of anti acids like Gaviscon.

Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide a saline type laxative. This means that the magnesia acts to pull a salt or saline solution into the intestines from the blood. This excessive fluid then provides a flushing or laxative action within the intestines

Foods rich in magnesium are also usually rich in potassium such as nuts, beans, oats, etc.

Well I think that is enough to be getting on with at the moment.
