Are You Getting Enough Magnesium?

Dr. Michael Greger MD, magnesium from food

Adequate Magnesium intake is crucial for optimal health. Of course it’s always best to get minerals such as Magnesium from our diet, however, with the nutrient depletion in our food (as a result of depletion in our soil) we sometimes need to turn to supplementation.

Magnesium supplementation should be done cautiously if you have any degree of kidney dysfunction or disease and always in active partnership with your physician for the kidney ailments. Supplementation may still be warranted but in very small doses that are actively monitored to ensure filtration function is not harmed.

  • Magnesium levels can be more accurately checked by running “RBC Magnesium” through your Primary Care Physician.
  • Unlike a serum magnesium level, which is highly dependent on what you recently consumed, RBC Magnesium provides a longer term evaluation (typically 3-4 months) of magnesium intracellular stores.
  • Most PCP’s are receptive to running RBC Magnesium upon request, and this marker is typically covered by insurance.
