Dumb Question BUT....

Post by Suzy »

I understand how important magnesium is and am supplementing with it, BUT wouldn't it make the LES weaker (and I'm in PPI rebound so want mine to strengthen). Doesn't magnesium loosen muscles? Thanks for indulging me...

Magnesium doesnt loosen muscles, it actually strengthens them, and gives them the strength to work properly.

Just the clarification I was hoping for! thank you Gabes. Do you think it would be helpful to spray some magnesium oil on my sternum area (it's sore there from PPI rebound hyperacidity)?

Suzy,

Gabes is right on target of course. Magnesium deficiency causes muscle weakness due to compromised neurological function. I'm not sure whether it would help to spray magnesium oil in that area, but it might.
