Types of Magnesium Deficiency
The body depends on Magnesium to be readily available for a variety of metabolic and cellular functions. In fact over 300 enzymes require Magnesium to function.
According to widely known statistics it is unlikely that almost 50% of Modern western populations are getting adequate Magnesium levels from their diet. However even if your dietary uptake of Magnesium seems adequate there are other factors which need to be taken into account.
- Simple Magnesium Dietary Deficiency
- Poor Magnesium Absorption – people with sensitivities often find absorption of Magnesium difficult.
- Increased Magnesium Excretion – some types of medications will deplete Magnesium status.
- Increased Magnesium Demand – time of life, stress and physical activity impact Magnesium usage.
- Multiple Deficiency – more than of the one above.
