The mineral Magnesium is vital to many functions of your body. Transporting calcium and potassium across cell membranes is one of its primary roles. The compound also functions in multiple reactions, including energy production and regulating muscle and nerve functions.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include;

Gastro Intestinal Issues: A lack of magnesium can disrupt this system.

Insomnia:  Magnesium regulates the neurotransmitter GABA, which controls many functions, including promoting the sleep-wake cycle. While countless issues, including stress and anxiety, can lead to interrupted sleep, if a person experiences episodes of insomnia without a clear cause, it is possible they lack magnesium.

Mood:  The mineral impacts the nervous system, and studies suggest sufficient levels of magnesium may help reduce stress and depression.

Lack of energy:  Active individuals and athletes could notice significant impacts on their performance and exercise tolerance if they develop a magnesium deficiency.

Muscle Spasms:  Magnesium helps stabilize nerve fibers, and a deficiency can trigger sudden muscle jerks due to misfiring nerves. This is usually an issue that arises when a person has a long-term deficiency that has not been addressed. In addition to limb spasms, magnesium deficiencies can cause eye twitches and persistent blinking.

Skin Issues:  Magnesium can help improve the appearance and health of skin by balancing hormone fluctuations that cause breakouts and other issues. Likewise, a lack of magnesium may exacerbate conditions like eczema
