New research on magnesium
In diabetics, a deficiency of magnesium has been linked to heart disease, kidney problems and nerve damage. Diabetics whose low blood sugar makes them feel faint or lightheaded may also benefit from magnesium supplements.
Magnesium supplements may also reduce the risk of heart disease and sudden heart attack. Women who suffer from painful periods may experience pain relief by taking magnesium in combination with vitamin B6 supplements.
