Bold Truth

Unless we supplement, there's a slight chance we have enough magnesium in our diet. It's possible to be magnesium deficient and experience one or more symptoms without realizing the root cause. Common ailments and diagnoses associated with magnesium deficiency include muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, loss of appetite, headaches, irregular heartbeat, and numbness and random tingling. Additionally, certain medications can deplete magnesium levels in the body, making supplementation even more critical. These medications include diuretics, antibiotics, chemotherapy agents, corticosteroids, antacids, insulin, oral contraceptives, proton pump inhibitors, statins, and certain pain medications. Given the essential role magnesium plays in overall health, ensuring adequate intake is vital for preventing these common symptoms and maintaining well-being.

According to orthomolecular medicine, the optimal daily intake of magnesium is typically higher than standard recommendations, aiming for around 400-800 mg per day for adults to ensure adequate bodily function and prevent deficiency-related issues
