The #1 Sign of a Dangerous Magnesium Deficiency

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Now, a really classic deficiency of magnesium would be eye twitching. That's called tetany. What's happening deep inside the muscle is that magnesium, because it's the master controller over calcium, there's an imbalance. We have too much calcium and not enough magnesium to control it. So, the simplicity of this is calcium controls the contraction, okay, of the muscle.

[00:00:22]Magnesium controls the relaxation. And if there's not enough magnesium, all you get is this contraction, this tetany.

[00:00:29]And it is the mineral to prevent calcification in your body. If you take a look at even heart attacks, deep in your cells, you have calcium crystals building up in the mitochondria that then interfere with the normal contraction and relaxation. Magnesium will keep your joints from calcifying.

[00:00:46]Magnesium keeps the arteries from becoming stiff. I mean, think about how many people have high blood pressure as they get older, which many times is merely a magnesium deficiency.

[00:00:56]Migraines, headaches can be a magnesium deficiency. Think about how many people have muscle spasms. If you could just kind of scan your body and you have tight muscles anywhere, chances are you need more magnesium.
