magnesium deficiency
Lacking essential element
Magnesium deficiency is a condition in which the body lacks adequate levels of magnesium, an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical processes including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and bone development.
Symptoms range from mild (fatigue, muscle cramps, irritability) to severe (numbness, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms).
The condition may result from poor dietary intake, certain medications, or health conditions that impair absorption.
