What's included in this test?

Magnesium serum

Foods rich in magnesium include green leafy vegetables, avocados, bananas, wholemeal bread, brown rice, fish, and meat. While magnesium is essential for good health, excessive exposure to it can cause breathing problems, skin and eye irritation, flu-like symptoms, and gastrointestinal discomfort. On the other hand, low magnesium levels in the body can result in muscle aches and pains, fatigue, osteoporosis, irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure. Low magnesium is linked to an increased risk of developing heart disease, atherosclerosis, stroke, and diabetes.

Sampling special instructions

Prepare for your Magnesium Serum Blood Test by following the instructions contained within your test kit. Avoid taking any magnesium-containing supplements or medications for 24 hours before the test, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. If you are currently on any medications, inform your healthcare provider as certain medications may interfere with the test results.
