Magnesium is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It regenerates body tissue by increasing circulation, which does effect the calcium-magnesium ratio positively & brings down inflammation. But Magnesium does much much more because it's needed for 3751 enzyme reactions throughout the body (Human Magnesome)! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23095498 ) Without Magnesium there would be no life. It is as important as water & oxygen is.
