The first thing is 80% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. So if you think about something just from the basic you want to give people what they're deficient in, and if you don't, you want to throw something against the wall and see what sticks. 80% of people are deficient in magnesium. Then just give people magnesium and you'll see lots of people getting better. But magnesium is more important than that. It helps with blood pressure regulation. It actually has a very calming impact on your heart, on your nervous system. There's over 200 different chemical reactions in our body enzymes that magnesium is essential for. It's important for insulin resistance, blood pressure control and regulation, nerve function.
