Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in the human body.
👉🏻 Since serum magnesium doesn’t reflect intracellular magnesium, most commonly deficiency of this nutrient isn’t diagnosed.
✅ Magnesium promotes vitamin D activation and regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis, affecting bone growth and strength.
✅ Vital for regulating levels of glucose, insulin, and the neurotransmitter dopamine. Deficiency of this mineral can manifest itself as a strong craving for sugar, especially chocolate.
✅ Its deficiency contributes to cortical depression, affects nociceptive processing and neurotransmitter release, and provokes hyperaggregation of platelets, which are factors in the development of migraine.
✅ Twitching, tremors, and muscle spasms are signs of magnesium deficiency.
✅ Magnesium deficiency is associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in adults. It regulates insulin secretion in the beta cells of the pancreas.
