A member asked:
What conditions are you at risk for when you are magnesium and calcium deficient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Death if too low: Magnesium is needed to help regulate calcium metabolism. So if mg is too low, calcium will also be low. If calcium is low enough, muscle spasms, seizures, and dangerous heart arrhythmias may occur, leading to death.
