Do You Have a Magnesium Deficiency? 



Symptoms: 

  • Muscle cramps, spasms and twitches 

  • Fatigue and weakness 

  • Loss of appetite and nausea 

  • Numbness and tingling 

  • Irritability and mood changes including anxiety or depression 

  • High blood pressure 

  • Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) 

  • Headaches and migraines 

  • Osteoporosis – due to reduced bone density over time 

  • Difficulty sleeping or insomnia 

 

Facts: 

Magnesium is involved in over 200 bodily processes, including energy production, protein synthesis, and muscle and nerve function. It is vital for muscle relaxation and bone strength – reducing the risk of osteoporosis. It also helps to maintain a steady heartbeat and normal blood pressure, lowering heart disease risk. 

Low magnesium is linked to anxiety and depressions, as it regulates neurotransmitters. 


Magnesium assists with insulin regulation, benefiting those with diabetes or insulin resistance. It supports sleep by regulating melatonin, aiding in relaxation. 

It is found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains and dark chocolate. 

Deficiency is more common in adults, people with certain health conditions and those with high sugar diets. Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is key for overall health.
