Magnesium is an essential mineral that has many important roles in ensuring healthy physical function. Muscular, circulatory, nerve and insulin metabolism all need magnesium for proper function. Having enough calcium and magnesium is also important for healthy bone development.
Magnesium deficiency can occur due to:

overconsumption of refined food
having too much salt, alcohol, soft drinks or caffeine
profuse sweating
high frequency exercise
prolonged stress
vomiting or diarrhoea
lack of sleep
inadequate protein intake
Deficiencies are linked to a number of health conditions.
