A CSIRO study of Australian adults found the daily intake of Magnesium was below the RDI for:
– 50% of all males tested
– 39% of all females
Causes: –
Poor dietary intake • ↓ green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds, grains
Poor absorption • Gut issues, diarrhoea
Hyper-excretion • Diuretics, alcohol, coffee, drugs, pH imbalance
Increased demand • stress, pregnancy, exercise, ageing
If you are thinking of supplementing, remember not all magnesium supplements are the same. If you would like to find out the best one for you, why not book a consult with Nutrition That Fits.
