Up to 80% of Americans are Deficient in Magnesium… Why?
The simplest answer is that our modern food supply (including organic food) simply doesn’t contain the magnesium it should due to highly depleted soil conditions. Even back in 1915, there were worries about the nutrient quality of the soil, as found in a record of Congressional Testimony. So even if you eat healthy, having a deficiency of this critical mineral is likely. The impact of deficiency is significant and wide-ranging since magnesium plays a role in over 325 functions in the body.
