According to federal dietary guidelines, Magnesium among these nutrients is under consumed.
The diets of most people in the United States provide less than the recommended amounts of magnesium. Old age (people above 65 to 70 mostly) and younger people are most likely to have low intakes of magnesium.
Low magnesium intakes for a long period of time, however, can lead to magnesium deficiency and some severe illness due to these deficiencies.
