Serum Magnesium

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    Serum magnesium is the blood levels of magnesium. While an acute spike results after magnesium supplementation, blood levels tend to be a poor predictor of magnesium status (erythrocytes are better) but are associated with the ability of magnesium to reduce blood pressure.
