Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state. Think of it as an on-off switch. The “off” is magnesium and the “on” is calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what happens to a cell that is not in balance—where the magnesium level in the body is deficient?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn simple terms, the “off” switch doesn’t fully turn off. That means calcium can continuously leak into the cells and stimulate cell activity (the “on” switch).

This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium—Too Much of a Good Thing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium deficiency can be a serious issue.

There are many adults who are taking 1,200–1,500 mg of supplemental calcium\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ein addition to their dietary intake of calcium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(an 8 oz cup of low-fat fruit yogurt contains 345 mg of calcium and one cup of nonfat milk contains 306 mg). Unassimilated calcium can end up in the soft tissues of the body where it deposits and hardens (calcifies) or in the urine where it may result in kidney stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless calcium and magnesium are properly balanced, magnesium becomes depleted (too much calcium can itself deplete magnesium levels). This can result in an inability to quickly recover from stress and can itself be a source of stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo You Have a Healthy Magnesium Level?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people don’t get enough magnesium, including many who already take magnesium.
