The Best Ways to Test for Magnesium Deficiency

Dr. James DiNicolantonio explains that magnesium deficiency is a widespread and often overlooked issue, with studies suggesting that up to half the population may be affected based on gold-standard testing methods. The decline in dietary magnesium intake, due to modern farming practices and food processing, compounds the problem. Despite its importance, magnesium deficiency is rarely tested for, with only a small percentage of physicians ordering tests in relevant cases. Traditional blood tests offer a limited snapshot, as magnesium is predominantly stored intracellularly. More accurate measures, such as mononuclear blood cell magnesium or oral and IV load tests, are seldom utilized. Factors like diet, exercise, and insulin resistance further complicate magnesium levels, making proper diagnosis and awareness essential.
