Magnesium deficiency in the UK is increasingly common. Magnesium, a mineral involved in over 300 known enzymatic and biochemical processes—from maintaining a steady heart rhythm to supporting nerve signalling and DNA synthesis—is becoming progressively diluted in the modern British diet. Not absent, but often insufficient. Recent data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) suggests a significant…
