Ode To Magnesium

Magnesium you are used for many functions
As a laxative for constipation
As an antacids for indigestion
And even to lower your hypertension

Taking Magnesium may help to strengthen your bones
Or prevent the production of Kidney stones
Magnesium is also used to proper muscle function
It is also important to nerve impulse conduction

Low magnesium can cause muscle and nerve spasm
And affect protein and carbohydrate metabolism
Early signs include nausea, vomiting and weakness.
Later signs are muscle cramps seizures and numbness

Magnesium Deficiency often leads to hypocalcemia
Not only that it can also cause hypokalemia
Treatment is to treat the underlying condition
And replace the electrolytes for good heart function

-An original poem by Kenneth Kee
