Who is most at risk of a magnesium deficiency?

Magnesium deficiencies can be common as there are a number of different factors that can lead to it. Various situations in life can increase the demand for magnesium such as prolonged heat exposure, prolonged exercise, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The increase in demand for magnesium can therefore lead to a deficiency.

Additionally, certain lifestyle factors can also negatively affect your magnesium levels. Some of these include stress, a poor diet (or a low magnesium diet) and excessive alcohol consumption. It is important to maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle in order to minimise the risk of a magnesium deficiency.

Finally, there are a number of other factors that can result in lower magnesium levels. Some of these include using certain medications, being hospitalised, having surgery, suffering from burns, or having high blood pressure. Furthermore, those suffering from heart, kidney, digestive and metabolic (such as diabetes) disorders may also be at risk of a magnesium deficiency.

What are the symptoms of low magnesium in the body?

A magnesium deficiency can result in symptoms including:

  • Muscle cramps (common in the legs, especially in the calves)
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Muscle weakness, tension and twitches
  • Poor appetite

The body is a very fragile instrument and without sufficient nutrients, the body can have a bad reaction. Magnesium is a vital nutrient that the body needs for a number of different processes. So make sure your diet contains enough magnesium to support a healthy body.

Should I take magnesium supplements?

An excessive use of magnesium supplements can be harmful so it is important to ask your doctor if magnesium supplements are right for you. A simple blood test can determine if a magnesium deficiency or if any other deficiencies are present. Make sure you express your concerns to your doctor so that he or she can indicate what to look for in the blood test.

If the results of a blood test indicate a magnesium deficiency, then your doctor can advise you whether or not supplements are necessary. For instances where a serious magnesium deficiency is present, your doctor may recommend dietary supplementation. Magnesium supplementation usually comes in an oral form (powder, tablet or capsule). If oral supplementation doesn’t work for you, consider an IV treatment.

A magnesium IV treatment allows your body to access the nutrients far more easily than an oral supplement. Because an oral supplement passes through your digestive system, your ability to absorb the nutrients will vary depending on your lifestyle and a variety of other factors.

On the other hand, a magnesium assisted IV treatment is delivered straight into your blood stream. As a result, your body may be less likely to pass any excess nutrients as urine.
