Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test

Overview

Think of magnesium as your body's ultimate multitasker – it's like having a dedicated assistant that keeps over 300 different processes running smoothly, from helping your muscles contract and relax to keeping your heart beating steadily and your energy levels up. The Magnesium test measures how much of this essential mineral is circulating in your blood, giving you a window into whether your body has enough of this crucial nutrient to power everything from your morning workout to your nightly wind-down.

When your magnesium levels are too low, your body sends some pretty clear signals – think muscle cramps that wake you up at night, feeling unusually tired despite getting enough sleep, or experiencing an irregular heartbeat. This test is particularly valuable if you've been dealing with persistent muscle twitches, unexplained anxiety, or cardiovascular issues, as low magnesium often flies under the radar but can significantly impact how you feel day-to-day. By checking your magnesium status, you'll know whether boosting this mineral through diet or supplements could help you feel more energized, sleep better, and keep your muscles and heart functioning at their best.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with muscle problems, cardiovascular symptoms, neurological concerns, or anyone needing comprehensive magnesium and mineral assessment.

Questions

  • Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, crucial for muscle, nerve, heart function, and energy production.

  • Causes include inadequate dietary intake, gastrointestinal disorders, certain medications, alcohol abuse, and conditions that increase magnesium loss.
