INSIGHT

Magnesium Is A Core Metabolic Mineral

  • Magnesium participates in over 300 biochemical reactions including ATP production and DNA maintenance.
  • Blood tests poorly reflect total body magnesium because only ~1% is in blood while most is in bone and muscle.
INSIGHT

Deficiency Is Common And Self-Perpetuating

  • Many people ingest less magnesium than needed and conditions like diabetes or stress lower magnesium availability.
  • This creates vicious cycles where deficiency worsens insulin resistance and related health risks.
ADVICE

Consider Magnesium For Common Symptoms

  • If you have fatigue, muscle spasms, cramps, headaches or sleep problems, consider magnesium deficiency as a contributor.
  • Supplementation can improve performance and reduce muscle damage especially in people with low magnesium.
