About magnesium and magnesium deficiency

Magnesium, which is a mineral, is responsible for many important functions and processes in the body's various biological processes, including metabolism, nerve function and the cell's ability to absorb glucose. We get magnesium through our diet as it is naturally found in many foods, mainly in leafy vegetables, legumes, whole grain products and meat, fish and shellfish. Magnesium is also found in our tap water - especially in municipalities with hard water

What can high levels of magnesium be caused by?

High levels of magnesium in the blood (hypermagnesemia) can be caused by chronic kidney failure, treatment with magnesium-containing antacids and myxedema.

What can low levels of magnesium be caused by?

Low levels of magnesium in the blood (hypomagnesemia) can be caused by a number of factors, including severe malnutrition, problems absorbing magnesium from food (for example, in steatorrhea or after bowel resections), long-term nutrition via a drip, long-term diarrhea, chronic alcoholism , treatment with diuretics, damage to the kidneys, overproduction of aldosterone and lack of parathyroid hormone.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

Magnesium deficiency is quite uncommon but can occur with dietary restrictions or with certain diseases. If you are deficient in magnesium, it can cause stunted growth, behavioral disorders and disturbances in heart function. Here are symptoms that can occur with magnesium deficiency:

  • muscle weakness
  • depression
  • tremors
  • nerve direction
  • tetanus
  • cramps
