Approximately 45% of the US population has inadequate magnesium intake.

“Basically, what is the 40% insuffic insufficiency in the US tell us people aren't eating their greens. They're eating their packaged food. They're eating their processed food. The standard American diet isn't really high in dark leafy greens.”

“With almost half of the U.S. population not meeting their daily magnesium needs, incorporating magnesium-rich foods like spinach into your diet is vital.”

“Most individuals aren’t consuming sufficient magnesium-rich foods, particularly dark leafy greens. Targeted supplementation can close that gap effectively.”

“ie. ~40% of US has intake below RDA”

“56% of the US population is deficient in magnesium that is because magnesium is only found in dark green leafy vegetables or in some nuts like almonds”

“and unfortunately 45% of the population doesn't get adequate levels of magnesium”

“yet 45% of the US population almost half the country does not meet the daily requirement for magnesium”

“45% of the US population almost half the country does not meet the daily requirement for magnesium suggesting people aren't eing their greens”

“and how 45% of the population in the United States does not have an adequate intake of magnesium which is quite literally a problem of not eating enough greens.”

“Magnesium is found at the center of a chlorophyll molecule. Chlorophyll is the molecule that gives plants their green color. So magnesium is high in dark leafy greens. Most people are not eating multiple servings of dark leafy greens daily. It's also pretty high in legumes. Almonds are another great source of magnesium. Oats are a great source of magnesium. So the bottom line is people aren't eating enough of their leafy greens.”

“I'm here to unpack the science behind magnesium often termed as the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency and its profound implications for nearly 45% of the US population who is falling short”
