but it is very recent. This article assesses that approximately half of all adults in the US do
not get enough magnesium. And it is believed that 25% of Americans are deficient in
magnesium. and that is a big problem because magnesium has been investigated and the
results have been very favorable since they say that it has a very positive impact on
diabetes. The information is very credible, but they tell you that if you have any questions
about the scientific content of this article, call a Life Extension wellness specialist and they
give you the phone number on their website.
How: The compilation of the sources has been very effective and easy to search when it
comes to seeing the credibility of the information in the article. It is a good article and it
gives a lot of confidence when reading the information.
Summary: My family comes from an offspring that has been diabetic for many generations,
and this information has enriched me what is more, I will share it with my family because
both my parents are diabetic and this will help them a lot to include magnesium in their
lives and I am prone to developing diabetes and I will take it to prevent it. However, I will
discuss it with my family doctor but I am sure that I will be able to take it because this article
is reliable. I recommend that you read it.
