Are you getting enough Magnesium?

You are not alone if the answer is no. Studies show that many Canadians do not meet the recommended daily intake of magnesium. In fact, it is estimated that nearly 50 percent of adults may have low magnesium levels, even if blood tests appear normal. That is because only a small amount of magnesium is stored in the blood. Most of it is found in your bones, muscles, and organs. This means deficiency often goes undetected, even when symptoms are present.

Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in the body. It helps regulate over 300 vital functions, including muscle movement, nerve communication, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and bone strength. It also plays an important role in helping the body handle stress, balance mood, and maintain restful sleep. As people age, magnesium absorption decreases naturally, and many common medications, such as diuretics, antibiotics, and antacids, can reduce levels even further.

Magnesium is a vital mineral that helps regulate over 300 processes in the body. It supports muscle movement, nerve communication, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and energy production. As we age, our ability to absorb magnesium declines, and many medications, including diuretics, antibiotics, and antacids, can reduce levels even more. Combined with poor soil quality and modern food processing, many people are not getting enough magnesium from food alone.

Magnesium and women’s health

Magnesium is especially important for women. It can help reduce symptoms of PMS, such as mood swings, bloating, and cramps, by relaxing the uterine muscles and calming the nervous system. During menopause and post-menopause, magnesium supports hormonal balance, sleep quality, and helps manage stress. Many women also experience improved mood and better sleep when magnesium intake is adequate.

Magnesium and heart health

Your heart relies on magnesium to beat steadily. It plays a key role in maintaining a normal heart rhythm and supporting healthy blood pressure. Low magnesium levels have been linked to irregular heartbeat, increased risk of high blood pressure, and coronary artery spasms. Research shows that diets higher in magnesium are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in women.

Magnesium and bone health

Magnesium works alongside calcium and vitamin D to build and maintain strong bones. Without enough magnesium, calcium may not be properly absorbed, leading to weaker bones over time. For older adults, maintaining strong bones is essential to prevent fractures and preserve mobility. Magnesium also supports bone cell activity and slows down bone loss as we age.

Magnesium and muscle and nerve function

Magnesium supports proper muscle contraction and relaxation. Low levels may cause tightness, twitching, or painful cramps. It also plays a key role in sending signals between the brain, nerves, and muscles. People with magnesium deficiency often experience restless legs, tingling, or tension in the shoulders and neck.

Magnesium and relaxation

Magnesium helps calm the nervous system and is often called the “relaxation mineral.” It supports better stress response, balanced mood, and deeper sleep. Low magnesium may contribute to anxiety, irritability, and insomnia. Supplementing daily may help you feel more relaxed and rested.
