Autoimmune disorders are on the rise!!!!!
It’s thought that more than 80% of us may be magnesium deficient.
Research indicates a strong link between low magnesium levels and many autoimmune diseases such as Alzheimer's and Diabetes. In fact, there is a significant correlation between magnesium levels and the severity of rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.
It was observed, in a study, that magnesium increased T cell subsets known to suppress autoimmune responses (Tregs and Tr1 cells that act as key immune regulators and are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis).
Some scientists believe that magnesium blocks the wave of brain signalling, called a cortical spreading depression, that leads to migraines with an aura, or changes in vision and other senses.
Research also suggests that topical magnesium chloride is a natural pain receptor blocker and naturally anti-inflammatory.
Topical magnesium is best, delivering more magnesium to the body than oral, through the skin and straight into the bloodstream. The same wonderful magnesium found in the sea, that leaves you, your horse and your dog feeling invigorated and relaxed when you come out after a swim. Make the most of it this summer, or supplement through the skin on the days you can’t get to the beach. And what’s more, the most absorbent part of the human body is thought to be the feet, so, you only have to paddle up to your ankles, if that’s what you prefer to do!!
