What if you suffer from a magnesium deficiency?

Did you know that magnesium deficiency is very common?

In addition to its well-known role in bone metabolism, our body needs magnesium as an enzyme cofactor for more than 300 enzymes! Its deficiency therefore affects several functions ranging from the production of calming neurotransmitters to hepatic detoxification, including the regulation of heart beats!

Why so many deficiencies?

Magnesium is found in particular in green vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds as well as legumes. However, our needs are such that around three out of four people find themselves deficient. Factors that can cause a deficiency include: chronic stress, excessive consumption of sugar, alcohol and coffee, inflammatory bowel disorders and the consumption of certain medications such as antacids and pump inhibitors. protons (IPP).

Signs of deficiencies

The deficiency often goes unnoticed because only about 1% of our body's total magnesium ends up in the bloodstream, so annual blood tests don't reveal it. The most common signs of deficiency are fatigue – especially when waking up – cramps, contractures and tingling as well as anxiety and irritability.
