What is magnesium?
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, critical for energy production, muscle and nerve function, bone health, blood pressure regulation, and blood glucose control. It is found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes, and can be taken as a supplement if needed.

Why is magnesium important?
Magnesium supports bone health, regulates blood pressure, aids in blood sugar control, and is linked to mood, cardiovascular, and neurological health. SiPhox Health includes magnesium in its Mineral Panel to help monitor levels and prevent deficiencies, which can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, and heart disease.

Understanding magnesium levels:

• Normal range: 29 – 51 mg/L
  Low magnesium can result from poor diet, gastrointestinal issues, or alcohol abuse. High magnesium is rarer but may occur with excessive supplementation or kidney problems.

Maintaining optimal magnesium levels:

• Diet: Eat magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, seeds, and nuts.
• Lifestyle: Limit alcohol and manage stress, as both can deplete magnesium.
• Supplements: Consult a healthcare provider about supplements if dietary intake is insufficient.

DISCLAIMER:

If you are concerned about your magnesium levels always consult your physician.
