The Magnesium Test measures blood serum levels to determine if you are magnesium deficient. Magnesium is a nutrient we receive through diet and supplementation, and it contributes to muscle contractions and communication between nerves, among other functions.
A Magnesium deficiency can lead to neuromuscular issues with symptoms including muscle weakness, tremors, tetany (muscle spasms), and convulsions. Too much magnesium can lead to a condition called hypermagnesemia with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, and low blood pressure.
Who is this test for?
You can order this test to receive insight into your Magnesium levels and to identify a possible deficiency. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, you can order this test to see if your symptoms are caused by your Magnesium levels.
This test can be ordered alongside the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel to collect important nutrient and blood biomarkers.
