Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency

Being that magnesium is essential to so many bodily functions, then it stands to reason that low levels would result in the body sending signals trying to get your attention.

These signals are often displayed in symptoms that interfere with life’s daily activities.  And it is so easy in today’s society to try and mask the symptom so as not to deal with its inconvenience rather than stop and assess what the body is trying to communicate.

We thought it would be helpful to list some of the more common symptoms displayed by the body when it is lacking appropriate magnesium levels.  And while these symptoms could also indicate other deficiencies or issues, they are also related to a magnesium deficiency.

Being that this important mineral is vital in the human body, offering protection against arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, respiratory issues and chronic inflammation, taking simple steps towards increasing magnesium levels could help alleviate health problems.

Some of the most common signs of magnesium deficiency include:

Muscle cramps

Fatigue

Type 2 Diabetes

Blood Pressure Issues

Memory loss

Anxiety

Irritability

Nausea

Asthma

Heart Problems

Arthritis

Osteoporosis

Headaches

Dry skin

If you suspect you are in the 80% of people who suffer from magnesium deficiency then it is easy to increase levels in your body by massaging magnesium oil onto your skin.

Magnesium levels can be determined with professional testing.  However, since it is a natural mineral, your body will not absorb more than it can utilize.  With the magnesium oil, it takes only a small amount at a time.  If too much has been applied it will simply leave an oily residue which can be washed off with soap and water.
