Customer Reviews

Bones need both calcium and magnesium.
Most Americans are probably aware that our bodies need calcium to make healthy bones. But many people may not be aware that a lot of Americans don't get enough calcium in their diet. And few people seem to know that healthy bones need magnesium as well as calcium. Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency is even more common than calcium deficiency. No wonder so many Americans suffer from arthritis and osteoporosis. Please read this book and be sure to get enough of the nutrients required for healthy bones.

Helpful and Factual
It's refreshing to finally see Magnesium get the recognition it deserves. Most of us do not get the RDA of this mineral. (Just check the nutrition label of your favorite multi-vitamin or fortified breakfast cereal.) We've all heard about the benefits of calcium, but magnesium is just as necessary in obtaining a healthy muscular-skeletal system. I'm a licensed massage therapist and find magnesium to be very effective at relieving my everyday aches and pains. It's just as helpful as any O-T-C or Rx anti-inflammatory I've ever taken, without the awful side effects. It has also helped my clients with restless leg syndrome, among other benefits. The magnesium studies found in this book were very impressive. They entailed tens of thousands of women in various parts of the world instead of just small random studies, as is often the case with calcium. Read this book!

Awesome little book of important info!!
This book was so cheap and yet packed full of so much vital information that is critical to a healthy diet and lifestyle. I have tried to warn everybody I know about the misuse and overuse of calcium supplements since reading this book. I would recommend it to anybody as a MUST READ!!!
