United States' Top 25 Nutritional Supplements
 

22. Magnesium

Magnesium increased its sales by 12 percent over 2002 and was responsible for a little more than 4 percent of total supplements sales that year. Magnesium deficiency can cause a number of common ailments, such as milk intolerance, PMS and insomnia, according to Homeopathic Remedies. Magnesium is an essential trace element found in the human body and magnesium supplements are “used for headaches, as a laxative and for lowering blood pressure,” says Almada. Almada also suggests that magnesium be taken for the same reason calcium is—to strengthen bones. “The major four ingredients in bone are magnesium, calcium, zinc and phosphorous, but we are a calcium-centric nation. Women don’t buy a multi-mineral supplement, but only a calcium supplement, and are therefore not getting enough magnesium.”
