Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports energy production, muscle function, bone health, blood sugar regulation, and cognitive well-being. It plays a vital role in over 300 enzymatic reactions, helping maintain normal muscle contractions and nerve transmission. Adequate magnesium intake may improve mood stability and support brain function. While generally safe, excessive magnesium supplementation can cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramping. Individuals with kidney issues should consult a healthcare professional before use to avoid potential complications.
Groups at Risk of Magnesium Inadequacy:
People with gastrointestinal diseases
The chronic diarrhea and fat malabsorption resulting from Crohn’s disease, gluten-sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease), and regional enteritis can lead to magnesium depletion over time [2]. Resection or bypass of the small intestine, especially the ileum, typically leads to malabsorption and magnesium loss [2].
People with type 2 diabetes
Magnesium deficits and increased urinary magnesium excretion can occur in people with insulin resistance and/or type 2 diabetes [25,26]. The magnesium loss appears to be secondary to higher concentrations of glucose in the kidney that increase urine output [2].
People with alcohol dependence
Magnesium deficiency is common in people with chronic alcoholism [2]. In these individuals, poor dietary intake and nutritional status; gastrointestinal problems, including vomiting, diarrhea, and steatorrhea (fatty stools) resulting from pancreatitis; renal dysfunction with excess excretion of magnesium into the urine; phosphate depletion; vitamin D deficiency; acute alcoholic ketoacidosis; and hyperaldosteronism secondary to liver disease can all contribute to decreased magnesium status [2,27].
Older adults
Older adults have lower dietary intakes of magnesium than younger adults [21,28]. In addition, magnesium absorption from the gut decreases and renal magnesium excretion increases with age [29]. Older adults are also more likely to have chronic diseases or take medications that alter magnesium status, which can increase their risk of magnesium depletion [1,30].
