Causes of magnesium deficiency

Intake of magnesium from food does not always suffice

Placing importance on a healthy diet does not always mean an all-round supply is assured. From time to time, our modern lifestyle causes our body’s mineral account to end up in the red.

There are numerous reasons for an undersupply

Magnesium deficiency can easily occur in particular situations such as periods of stress, increased physical demand or in old age. It is then that our body needs more of this valuable mineral or excretes more.

Early symptoms are the twitching of different muscles or calf cramps at night.
