What Happens When I Don't Get Enough Magnesium? Studies have shown correlations between low magnesium levels with high blood pressure, heart disease, migraine headaches, & osteoporosis. People who are magnesium deficient will experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, & weakness. Why Does My Body Need Magnesium? The body uses a molecule called ATP as an energy source. ATP functions properly when it is accompanied by magnesium, which helps to ATP stabilization until it is used. Since ATP is important for genetic information, magnesium also plays a crucial role in growth and development. In addition, magnesium accompanied many enzymes involved in essential chemical reactions. To add to that it contributes to bone construction and aids to transport calcium and potassium to keep your heart and muscles contracting properly. Best form of Magnesium Magnesium supplements are available in a variety of forms, including magnesium glycinate, oxide, citrate, and chloride. The Supplement Facts panel on a dietary supplement label declares the amount of elemental magnesium in the product, not the weight of the entire magnesium-containing compound. Absorption of magnesium from different kinds of magnesium supplements varies. Forms of magnesium that dissolve well in liquid are more completely absorbed in the gut than less soluble forms. Studies have found that magnesium in the glycinate, aspartate, citrate, and lactate forms is absorbed more completely and is more bioavailable than magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, or magnesium sulfate. This is because magnesium doesn't dissolve in water well and is difficult to absorb by the intestines. Magnesium that is bound to amino acids (called chelated magnesium and listed as magnesium aspartate, magnesium citrate, or magnesium lactate glycinate) is more readily absorbed.
