Magnesium deficiency and inadequacy is hard to measure accurately | Rhonda Patrick

Magnesium, a mineral found in dark leafy greens, serves as a cofactor in several biological functions, including energy production and DNA repair. National surveys indicate that much of the US population is not meeting their daily magnesium requirement. Clinical symptoms of magnesium deficiency are unlikely, but long term insufficiency can lead to the accumulation of DNA damage over time, which is associated with the diseases of aging. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick talks about the importance of obtaining adequate magnesium in the diet.
