It is estimated that up to 75% of Americans have a magnesium deficiency and don’t know it. This is mainly caused by poor diet since most vitamins and minerals get stripped out of processed and fast foods- the main staple of Americans. There are several conditions that show themselves in magnesium deficient people including muscle twitches, headaches and high blood pressure. While magnesium can’t take care of severe blood pressure problems, it can definitely help. Since many people have high blood pressure and don’t even know it, getting more magnesium is simple, cheap insurance-although definitely not a replacement for proper screening and treatment. Still, with most people not getting even close to enough magnesium, it is safe to recommend that everyone take a supplement with at least 50% of the US RDA. Since it is cheap and easy to find even in the grocery store, pick some up and add it to your other supplements.
