Does Magnesium Deficiency Affect Other Mineral Levels?
A severe deficiency in magnesium has been tied to a low level of calcium in the blood. This is known as hypocalcemia. Calcium is vital for all cellular health. Our heart depends on calcium, and of course our bones. Calcium does not work alone, it depends on magnesium for proper absorption into the cells.
Magnesium deficiency has also been linked to a low level of potassium, another of our primary, necessary electrolytes. A low level of potassium in the blood is known as hypokalemia.
