Maintaining Magnesium Levels on a Ketogenic Diet

Igal Dubov is an accomplished New Jersey business owner who leads Genie Depot, LLC and oversees online sales of nutritional supplement products. Igal Dubov's primary focus is on supplements that boost people’s ability to maintain a healthy ketogenic diet.

Magnesium is an important mineral to replenish when embarking on a low carb, high-fat ketogenic diet. Vital for nerve function, heart rhythm, bone strength, and immune system functioning, magnesium is regulated by the kidneys. It can be depleted by a ketogenic diet because the body is shedding glycogen, the major storage form of glucose.

The form in which glycogen is stored by the body is three parts water and one part glycogen, which results in increased water being passed through the kidneys. This, in turn, impacts drop-in serum magnesium levels within the kidneys.

Getting magnesium into the diet can be accomplished through consuming more nuts and seeds, avocado, dark leafy greens, fatty fish, and dark chocolate with cacao levels above 70 percent. It is also an ingredient often found in supplements aimed at those with ketogenic diets.
