Magnesium—A National Deficiency

1 in 3 Canadians don’t get enough magnesium. Discover how this mighty mineral supports muscle, heart, bone, and nervous system health.

Are You at Risk for Magnesium Deficiency?

Magnesium plays a vital role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body—from energy production and muscle function to nervous system balance and bone strength. Yet one in three Canadian adults falls short of their daily magnesium needs. Aging, processed diets, stress, medications, and depleted soils all contribute to this national health concern. Learn how to identify deficiency signs, optimize your intake, and choose the right form of magnesium for your lifestyle.

  • Supports muscle and nerve function for daily vitality.
  • Promotes strong bones and teeth through calcium regulation.
  • Helps maintain cardiovascular health and normal blood pressure.
  • Aids energy metabolism and reduces fatigue.
  • Works synergistically with vitamin D to protect cells from oxidative stress.
