Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

45 – 65 mg/L

Adult females

45 – 65 mg/L

Adult males

45 – 65 mg/L

Common alternative units:
mmol/L(×24.31 mg/L)

What does a low result mean?

A lower count frequently explains muscle twitches, cramps, or mental fatigue, improving smoothly with supplementation.

What does a high result mean?

A slightly higher number is uncommon and can follow protracted high-dose magnesium supplementation.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does this confirm true intracellular magnesium depletion?
  • Which magnesium formulation (glycinate, citrate) fits my digestion best?
  • Should we recheck after an 8-week replenishment course?
