(TheTruthAboutCancer.com) Magnesium is essential for health and is necessary for over a thousand enzymatic reactions in the body. It’s needed for DNA replication and repair, controlling inflammation, and for cell proliferation. It is also crucial for detoxification as well as Vitamin D synthesis. Yet dietary surveys of Americans consistently show that intakes of magnesium are lower than recommended amounts.

A magnesium deficiency increases cell membrane permeability allowing viruses, fungi, and heavy metals such as aluminum, mercury, lead, and cadmium to enter cells, potentially triggering carcinogenesis (cancer formation). Plus, low magnesium inhibits the synthesis of glutathione – the master antioxidant, thus leading to an increase in free radical generation.
The Government Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is 320 mg for women over 30, and 420 mg for men over 30. However actual requirements will vary for each individual, and most knowledgeable, nutritionally-oriented experts agree that the average adult needs around 400 mg – 1,000 mg per day of magnesium.
