FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q What are the symptoms of low Magnesium levels?
A Common symptoms of low magnesium levels include muscle spasms, muscle weakness, insomnia, heart problems, irritability and sensitivity to noise.

Q How much Magnesium do I need every day?
A The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the baseline average daily requirement suggested to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97-98%) individuals. The RDA for magnesium for men is 420mg, and for women is 320mg.
 
Q Who may need extra Magnesium?
A Those with a poor diet, or under stress, or where there is an excessive loss of magnesium or limited magnesium absorption due to health conditions, may require magnesium supplementation. Some medications may cause a magnesium deficiency, including certain diuretics and antibiotics. Individuals with poorly-controlled diabetes may benefit from magnesium supplementation due to increased magnesium losses in the urine associated with hyperglycaemia.
 
Magnesium levels are affected by alcohol and chronic malabsorptive conditions such as Crohn’s disease, gluten sensitive enteropathy, (Coeliac disease) colitis, diarrhoea, intestinal surgery and fat malabsorption.

Older adults are also at increased risk for magnesium deficiency due to poor diet and reduced digestive ability.
