Magnesium also works as a smooth muscle relaxant. Without this crucial mineral many people fall victim to the untoward side effects of a low intracellular magnesium level and most physicians fail to recognize these symptoms. Research has shown that magnesium deficiency alone or with dietary imbalances, or magnesium wasting drugs can lead to a whole host of symptoms and complications. Research has also shown that patients who suffer with hypertension, asthma, coronary artery disease, leg cramps, migraines, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmias, depression, and multiple sclerosis have low intracellular magnesium levels and symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Some of this is due to the disease itself and some of it do to the medications that the person has to take to control the actual disease.
