Micronutrients & recovery

Subclinical magnesium deficiency, defined by intracellular depletion despite normal serum levels, is a principal driver of cardiovascular disease and chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

Standard blood tests often miss magnesium deficiency because they only measure a small fraction of your body's total stores. To support heart health and prevent chronic disease, focus on magnesium-rich whole foods (nuts, seeds, dark leafy greens) and consider supplementation if your diet is heavily processed, as modern food crops are increasingly depleted of magnesium. Aim for higher-than-minimum intake to maintain optimal intracellular levels.
