Is this ‘miracle mineral’ really a CRUCIAL part of kidney disease care?
When you’ve got chronic kidney disease, ANYTHING could tip the scales…
And send your kidneys into full shutdown mode.
And when that happens, you could artificially filter your blood…
But once you start dialysis, the countdown to the end speeds up.
Too many folks are DYING with chronic kidney disease… and it’s not always after kidney failure.
CKD patients are also being KILLED by cardiovascular disease…
And they’re MORE likely to land in an early grave than their counterparts without CKD.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
And the latest science shows how CKD patients can DODGE premature death — and not just from ONE cause.
From ALL causes!
Keep kidney disease from becoming a KILLER
Researchers out of the Netherlands recently analyzed available research on CKD-related deaths… and what they found was ASTOUNDING.
Their review… which included DOZENS of studies and nearly 350,000 participants… discovered ONE simple factor that set the surviving CKD patients apart from the ones who died early.
HIGHER levels of magnesium were associated with LOWER risk of death.
Specifically, the all-cause death risk PLUMMETED 10% with every 0.1 mmol/L increase in magnesium.
That means the MORE magnesium a patient had circulating in their bloodstream…
The LESS likely they were to SUCCUMB to kidney failure… a heart attack or stroke… or ANY other potentially lethal event!
That could be because magnesium appears to IMPROVE two main hallmarks of chronic kidney disease that leads to deadly heart disease:
- THICKENING of the carotid artery, a sign of atherosclerosis
- CALCIFICATION of the blood, which contributes to hardened, stiff arteries.
Now, kidney patients on dialysis know that the treatment can DRAIN them of magnesium… which is why this miracle mineral is often added to the mixture to get pumped back into their bodies.
But it turns out that ALL kidney patients… even those who haven’t resorted to dialysis… can benefit from magnesium!
That makes sense, as a magnesium deficiency can SPIKE the risk for complications in diabetics… including heart issues.
And diabetes one of the MAJOR culprits behind kidney disease.
Fortunately, you can OPTIMIZE your magnesium levels by taking a magnesium supplement.
Talk to your doc about which type of oral magnesium is right for you. One of the researched forms of this supplemental mineral is magnesium carbonate… but that’s not your only choice.
Just note that some others might induce a laxative effect (remember “Milk of Magnesia”?)… which you may or may not want.
To not accepting your mortality too early,
