Manganese, The Needed Nutrient
Aluminum toxicity may play a role in symptoms experienced by magnesium deficient FM patients. Magnesium is required by the body to help block the toxic effects of aluminum. Aluminum inhibits glycolysis (breakdown of sugars) and oxidative phosphorylation resulting in decreased intramitochondrial ATP production. Aluminum blocks the absorption and utilization of phosphates vital to the synthesis of ATP! This adds to the problem of intramitochondrial phosphate deficiency.
