[QUOTE="witan, post: 335130, member: 12474"] I agree Calcium (Ca) levels are very important in cell metabolism but Magnesium (Mg) is as well - serum blood electrolytes have always been focused on Sodium and Potassium (Na and K) levels and Ca and Mg not often measured. Ca trapped in the cells can cause the blood vessels to be a lot stiffer than they should be - this can be displaced by increasing the Mg levels in the cells, simply bathing in Epsom Salts may do the trick and costs virtually nothing and has no side-effects. Mg can be a natural Calcium Channel Blocker. A good mineral/electrolyte balance is important in the blood as well as the cells, maintaining this may be hampered by excess glucose in diabetics. All these elements have similarities and I also wonder if Mg can displace Na, as since starting on Mg supplements two weeks ago I have had a salty-taste in my mouth although I have a minimal salt in-take - no problem though with an initial reduction from 149/91 to 130/80 something never achieved on any other tablets. In the plant world Ca can be both a vital element or a poison depending on the plant, while a lack of Mg will leave them looking yellow and droopy, choose the right balanced fertilizer and hey-presto all is well again.
