Magnesium deficiency often remains undetected
How do I know if I have a magnesium deficiency? It's actually not that easy. Because a magnesium deficiency can manifest itself in so many different ways, it often remains undetected for a long time. Who thinks first of a magnesium deficiency when they experience headaches, restlessness or insomnia?
Even blood tests often feign normal values. This is because the body initially compensates for the lack of freely available magnesium by withdrawing the mineral from the depots in the bones, muscles and tissues. Only when the stores run low does the magnesium level in the blood drop.
During a detailed patient interview, the doctor can gather initial indications of a magnesium deficiency even if the blood values are inconspicuous.
