Related Health Impacts

  • Muscle Cramps & Neuromuscular Irritability

    Magnesium depletion destabilizes neuromuscular transmission and ATP-dependent muscle relaxation, which can cause muscle cramps, tremors, weakness and restless legs.

  • Arrhythmias & Blood Pressure Changes

    Low magnesium interferes with cardiac myocyte electrophysiology and vascular tone, predisposing to premature beats, arrhythmias and elevated blood pressure.
