10 Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #7: Migraines
Another symptom of magnesium deficiency is migraine headaches. Magnesium is involved in neurotransmitter releases as well as vasodilation. Low levels can affect releases of some neurotransmitters as well as cause constriction of blood vessels, leading to headaches.
While migraines are not directly caused by magnesium deficiency, studies indicate that magnesium supplements can reduce their frequency. According to the American Headache Society and the American Academy of Neurology, magnesium may help prevent migraines. Some trials conducted on migraine patients found that taking 300mg of magnesium twice daily led to a reduction in the frequency of migraine attacks.
