What is the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Magnesium? What are the symptoms of Magnesium deficiency?
Ghazala A. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for men is 420 mg per day and for women is 320 mg per day. The pregnant woman requires an uptake of 360 mg per day. Many people do not have a sufficient store of magnesium in the body, mainly because they do not uptake enough magnesium in their diet. Besides this, the functional status of the digestive system and the kidney affect the amount of magnesium in the body. Symptoms of magnesium shortage in the body include fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. If the depleting amount of magnesium is not recovered it can initiate the symptoms like numbness, muscle contraction, cramps, sudden changes in behaviour due to increased electrical activity in the brain leading to personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms etc. Severe magnesium deficiency can cause calcium and potassium deficiency in blood.
