Feds causing CONFUSION over this ESSENTIAL nutrient
Friend, the Feds can’t seem to get their story straight when it comes to YOUR health.
So, what gives now?
Well, the powers-that-be at the FDA are creating unnecessary CONFUSION with one of the most essential nutrients out there.
And it will no doubt leave folks muddled and baffled as to whether or not it’s good for you.
Well, allow me to set the record straight.
I’ve made no qualms about the proven health benefits of MAGNESIUM.
It’s good for your heart… your blood sugar… and even helps prevent headaches…
There’s really no reason NOT to supplement with magnesium at appropriate levels.
Even the FDA is now “allowing” health claims on magnesium supplements.
That’s good, right?
Well, skim the fine print and they also said…
It only allows companies to say the evidence for magnesium is “inconsistent and inconclusive.”
And, any claims should be about magnesium from diet ONLY.
HUH?!
Look, there are plenty of ways to get magnesium in your diet. But according to the Cleveland Clinic, HALF the population is magnesium deficient!
So why would they poo-poo magnesium supplements?
I don’t want to speculate… but I sure have an idea…
Maybe it’s a connection to a drug company? Maybe they feel insecure about admitting the proven benefits of magnesium since it didn’t come from one of their prized labs?
Who knows.
But here’s what I know. There’s no need to be scared of the wording on any magnesium supplement.
Stick to the recommended dosage on the supplement label and you’ll be just fine. And of course, don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor about supplementing with magnesium.
