Magnesium Series: 7 Surprising Facts about Magnesium

by Kim Andersen
  1. 60% of people do not get enough magnesium in their diet, and of these people 66% are dangerously deficient.
  1. Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 biochemical reactions in your body. It impacts protein synthesis, nerve function, bone growth, blood pressure regulation, Diabetes and glucose regulation and artery and heart regulation.
  1. When we eat food with magnesium, 30-40% is not absorbed in our gut and depending upon the acidity of your stomach, you may not get even that much.
  1. 80% of the magnesium in processed foods is lost in the production of these foods, effectively making them void in magnesium.
  1. Our water used to be our primary source of magnesium, but now it is desalinated, which removes all the magnesium and other minerals. Plants are also being fed desalinated water, resulting in vegetables with low levels of magnesium (food is our second primary source of magnesium). Other than natural ground water, we no longer have our primary magnesium sources.
  1. With the loss of rich soil, ground water and the processing of our foods, humans have lost 90% of their magnesium sources and doctors are now beginning to link magnesium deficiency with a number of diseases that are on the rise.
  1. Often people will have their blood tested for magnesium, but this doesn’t tell you if you have a deficiency in your bones or mitochondria. 60% of your magnesium is held in the bone, while 39% is in the cell, leaving only 1% in the blood, making testing the blood useless.
