Magnesium deficiency causes heart arrhythmias, blocks vitamin D absorption, and disrupts calcium balance
Magnesium deficiency contributes to heart arrhythmias and tachycardia by impairing muscle cell function. It also blocks vitamin D absorption and disrupts calcium balance. Most cheap supplement forms are poorly absorbed.
