There’s been a lot of chatter on social media over the past few months about the importance of magnesium supplements. Many suggest that symptoms such as trouble sleeping, tense muscles, and low energy are all signs you’re deficient and should be taking a magnesium supplement.
As it turns out, many of us probably are somewhat deficient in magnesium. According to research, most aren’t consuming the recommended amount of magnesium of 300 to 420 mg daily to support our body’s needs. According to a paper published in Open Heart, it’s also estimated that in developed countries, between 10–30 percent of the population has a slight magnesium deficiency.
