Magnesium deficiency is caused by not getting enough magnesium in the diet. It can also be depleted however by certain medications as well as processed foods and beverages.

Also, when there is an excess amount of calcium in the body (very common today given the misguided emphasis that has been placed solely on calcium in recent times), magnesium is excreted from the body further.

Read more about what causes magnesium deficiency in Dr. Carolyn Dean's book, The Magnesium Miracle. Or read a summary of the book by clicking on the link below.
