Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC,   a repeat guest, is the founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group. He’s best known as the Magnesium Man, and is the author of “ Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own ,” in which he explains the roles of magnesium, copper, iron, vitamins A and D and other essential nutrients.

Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC, founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group and best known as the Magnesium Man, has also written a book called “ Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own .” In this book, he goes well beyond magnesium into other nutrients such as copper, iron, vitamins A and D and more, and his Root Cause Protocol2 is the implementation of that information.

The Importance of Copper Minerals play a crucial role in the activation of enzyme pathways, which are responsible for metabolism. This, in part, is what makes minerals so foundational for good health. If you don’t have the required minerals, the “batteries” of your cells, the mitochondria, won’t work properly. In a nutshell, good health depends on ample and robust energy production and utilization, and f

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning that it dissolves in fats and oils and can be stored in your body for a long time. Vitamin D is important to the body in many ways. It helps the body absorb calcium from food and supplements. Muscles need it to move, for example, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body. Even more popular at the moment is the role of vitamin D and the potential benefits against COVID-19. This is probably one of the reasons that's driving the demand on vitamin D related products. In recent and months, several publications and studies have suggested that maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D would seem potentially beneficial in fighting the COVID-19 infection.  How do you know that your vitamin D level is adequate
