Symptom #2: Muscle Cramps

If you are experiencing muscular cramping or twitching, your body may be low in magnesium. In some cases, magnesium deficiency can lead to seizures and convulsions. Magnesium is required for the proper functioning of muscles and nerves by maintaining ion balance, which plays a part in muscle function.

Magnesium deficiency can affect nerve impulses to and from the muscles. It can also affect the way muscle fibers function. It is worth noting that muscle cramps, twitching or seizures may result from many other causes. For this reason, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis in case your symptoms persist.
