Magnesium
A vital catalyst in enzyme activity, especially those involved in energy production. Assists in calcium and potassium uptake. Deficiency interferes with transmission of nerve and muyscle impulses, causing irritability and nervousness. Plays a role in formation of bone and in carbohydrate and mineral metabolism. Magnesium deficiency also may manifest as confusion, insomnia, irritability, poor digestion, rapid heartbeat, seizures, and tantrums; often synonymous with diabetes. Magnesium deficiencies are at root of many cardiovascular problems; may be major cause of fata cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, sudden cardiac arrest, asthma, chronic fatigue, chronic pain syndromes, depression, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, and pulmonary disorders
