Memorable Quotes:

“Every cell in our body contains magnesium and needs it to function, so that is why it’s so important. That is why there is so much magnesium deficiency out there and why it’s implicated in dozens of health conditions.” [3:20] -Dr. Barb

“Magnesium helps to formulate bone-forming cells, and so it’s involved in the activation of osteoblasts, and osteoblasts are the cells responsible for that bone formation, and when we see sufficient levels we’re better able to build and maintain bone mass.” [12:25] -Dr. Barb
