Think all magnesium is the same? Here’s why most people choose wrong, and how to fix it

It’s surprising how a single mineral can influence nearly everything, from how the brain functions to how the heart beats. Magnesium works quietly behind the scenes in more than 600 biochemical reactions. Yet, according to Dr Mark Hyman, nearly 80% of people may have low magnesium levels that go unnoticed because standard tests rarely pick it up.
Low magnesium often hides behind common problems like muscle cramps, brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep, PMS, or constipation. Over time, deficiency can even raise the risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. The real issue, however, isn’t just about getting more magnesium, it’s about getting the right kind.
