What Are Low Magnesium Symptoms To Watch For?
Do you have low magnesium symptoms?
Magnesium is an essential mineral in the human body — but even though it's available in foods such as leafy greens, beans, and nuts, most people don't meet the recommended 300 to 400 milligrams per day through their diet alone (1).
If you're considering taking a magnesium supplement or you think your current symptoms may point to a magnesium deficiency, learn more about the signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency and understand which type of magnesium might best address your concerns.

Detecting Low Magnesium Symptoms: What Is This Mineral's Role in the Human Body?
Magnesium plays an important role in muscle, nerve, and cellular health. It's also one of the most abundant minerals in the human body (2).
The following points are just a few of the many responsibilities of this mineral:
- Maintaining a balance with calcium to ensure the health of your bones and muscles
- Helping your muscles to relax after they contract
- Combatting depression and anxiety
- Assisting the body in regulating insulin and blood glucose
What Are Low Magnesium Symptoms?
What Are Low Magnesium Symptoms?
Low magnesium isn't always obvious. Because this mineral plays a part in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body, symptoms may be insidious or attributed to another cause (such as life stressors).
Consider the following signs and symptoms to determine whether you may be suffering from this common deficiency.
Sore Muscles
Sore Muscles
Do you have chronically sore muscles after physical activity?
If you and your doctor have attributed this symptom to aging or injury, you may be correct — or you might need a magnesium supplement.
Researchers have found that magnesium can help reduce muscle soreness after exertion.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and Depression
Low magnesium is often linked to depression, stress, and anxiety.
Research indicates that magnesium supplementation may help decrease how anxious you feel.
Several case studies suggest that oral magnesium can alleviate certain cases of depression that do not respond to traditional treatment, such as antidepressants (3).
Sleep Issues
Sleep Issues
One of the most well-known low magnesium symptoms is insomnia.
Research indicates that magnesium supplementation may help with sleep issues such as insomnia, trouble falling asleep, and difficulty staying asleep through the night.
Heart Problems
Heart Problems
It's well known that magnesium keeps the heart healthy — after all, the heart is a muscle.
Higher magnesium levels indicate a lower risk of heart disease and lower levels of magnesium point to a higher risk of heart disease.
This doesn't mean that magnesium deficiency causes all heart disease, but it could be worth keeping in mind if you have a family or personal history of heart problems.
Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat symptoms are also associated with low magnesium.
