Many Americans don’t get enough magnesium in their diets. However, most healthy people do not exhibit signs of deficiency, even if their intake is low, because the body stores this mineral. People who abuse alcohol, take certain diuretic drugs, or have kidney disease may be at risk for magnesium deficiency. Long-lasting diarrhea or vomiting also can cause a deficiency. Older adults often do not get enough magnesium in their diets.
