I have started implementing the changes recommended in this episode regarding serum magnesium levels into my practice but I was hoping I could get links to the resources that support this. I couldn’t find it in the show notes. It has come up in discussion several times at work and it would be helpful to have the data to back up why I haven’t been ordering serum magnesium levels. Thanks!
Alexandra - I'll let Corey answer this as well but here is an article that I have on hand that may be helpful:
The relationship between disorders of K+ and Mg+ homeostasis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3317639
This one may be helpful as well: Magnesium Basics https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4455825/
And one more: The underestimated problem of using serum magnesium measurements to exclude magnesium deficiency in adults; a health warning is needed for "normal" results. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20170394
