What are the implications of magnesium deficiency?
Because magnesium is required in the metabolism of estrogen in the body, low
levels of magnesium increases estrogen leading to estrogen dominance. Symptoms
of too much estrogen include premenstrual breast and uterine pain, headaches,
backaches, premenstrual depression and mood swings. Women on the birth control
pill or hormone replacement therapy also become deficient in magnesium as the
drugs deplete magnesium. Anyone with an estrogen dominant condition like
endometriosis, PMS, fibroids, ovarian cysts, period problems or breast cysts need
magnesium bisglycinate.
