In clinic we often see clients who's muscles are really tight or contracted. Without magnesium in our body our muscles would be in a constant state of contraction. It should be noted that calcium causes our muscles to contract. While calcium and magnesium have actions that oppose each other they function as a team. So you must always consider your calcium levels when considering your magnesium levels. References Seelig M, Rosanoff A. The Magnesium Factor. New York: Avery Books; 2003
