ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Magnesium: Vital for wellness
The subject of magnesium in the diet, as well as topically, has been a hot topic for several years now. It has been touted as the cure-all for almost anything that might ail you. While there is no doubt that magnesium may be good for you, you could be getting swayed by marketing propaganda that lures you into buying something you don’t need.
While there are several available tests for determining a magnesium deficiency, they are not widely used and there are inconsistencies with all of them. The most common test is the Serum Magnesium test. While the least expensive and fairly accurate in determining serum levels, it does not assess tissue levels or bone storages. Other tests include RBC Magnesium Test (intracellular levels), Magnesium Loading Test (complicated) and the 24 Hour Urinary Magnesium Test (tests excretion of magnesium), and a few others. A Hair Analysis is another way of assessing magnesium levels, but must be interpreted by a practitioner well versed in that kind of assessment.
