Challenges in the diagnosis of magnesium status
Coincidence?<p>"Vitamin D is currently the only Essential Vitamin or Mineral which appears to have deficiency rates at a similar level to Magnesium"<p><a href="https://examine.com/supplements/magnesium/research/#nutrient" rel="nofollow">https://examine.com/supplements/magnesium/research/#nutrient</a>...<p>Dai (2018): Magnesium status and supplementation influence vitamin D status and metabolism: results from a randomized trial <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30541089/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30541089/</a> "Our findings suggest that optimal magnesium status may be important for optimizing 25(OH)D status. "<p>So it might well be that general deficiency in Vitamin D is caused by the deficiency in magnesium status. This would also be an explanation why we see Vitamin D deficiency in sunny Africa: <a href="https://theconversation.com/think-vitamin-d-deficiency-is-not-common-in-africa-think-again-140080" rel="nofollow">https://theconversation.com/think-vitamin-d-deficiency-is-no...</a>
