The daily recommended allowance or RDA is 400-420mg for men, 210-320mg for women but a majority of my clients need much more as they have been deficient for so long.

When I analyze Hair Analysis results, I can see where your individual Magnesium levels are so we can dial in your dietary needs as well as supplementation specifics. If you have a high Magnesium you can also show a slow elimination from your hair because the body is unable to remove the bio-unavailable form that is stuck. On a retest, I often see large increases of toxic Magnesium purging once the body is getting more into balance. Getting all of the minerals in the correct levels and eliminating the disruptive heavy metals is key to true cellular #health.
