==Deficiency== Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, [[nausea]], vomiting, [[fatigue]], and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps, [[seizures]], personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms can occur. Severe magnesium deficiency can result in [[hypocalcemia]] or [[hypokalemia]] (low serum calcium or potassium levels, respectively) because mineral homeostasis is disrupted.<ref name="NihMagnesium" /> Magnesium deficiency disrupts the [[Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis|HPA axis]] and increases susceptibility to physiological damage produced by stress. Deficiency can promote activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor which triggers inflammatory pathways and [[cortisol]] release.<ref>{{Cite journal|last = Rayssiguier | first = Yves | last2 = Libako | first2 = Patrycja | last3 = Nowacki | first3 = Wojciech | last4 = Rock | first4 = Edmond | date = Jun 2010 | title = Magnesium deficiency and metabolic syndrome: stress and inflammation may reflect calcium activation | url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20513641|journal=Magnesium Research|volume=23|issue=2 | pages = 73β80|doi=10.1684/mrh.2010.0208|issn=1952-4021|pmid=20513641|pmc=|quote=|access-date=|via=}}</ref> People with [[gastrointestinal]]<ref name="NihMagnesium" /> disorders and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] are at higher risk of magnesium deficiency.
