There are so many ways of losing Magnesium, that it is surprising we may still have magnesium in our body any more! every single thing we do to enjoy life and fight aliment seems to remove magnesium from our body. You run and sweat, you lose magnesium, you take proton pump inhibitor to reduce acid from our stomach due to stressful life, you lose more magnesium, you take a diuretic to fight high blood pressure, you lose potassium and magnesium, you eat fatty food, well you lose magnesium. you take a stool softner, laxative, you lose magnesium. Many chemotherapy drug will increase your loss of magnesium (Cetuximab, Tacrolimus, Cisplatin, cyclosporine,Panitumumab)
And the blood test do not reveal the story,you have to be fully depleted of magnesium before your blood level changes. So by the time your blood level changes, it is too late! So please just eat your green vegetables, nuts, and whole grain cereals, milk and seafood to keep up.
Now if your DR told you you have renal failure or Irritable Bowel disease, magnesium intake can be dangerous as it may lead to toxicity! You may be a high absorber man or not lose enough to keep you balanced ...you need your DR help here to monitor this more closely...
