“...Clinical forms of nervous primary MD [magnesium deficit] are multiple. There is a great variety of symptomatic forms according to the main target of the symptomatology: migraine, chronic fatigue, neurosis, restless leg syndrome, Raynaud's phenomenon with an increase of CGRP Mg-dependent, neurolability in children and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). Undetected early maternal magnesium deficiency could be the fountainhead of the so called 'constitutional' characteristics of the nervous form of chronic primary MD, and even of more severe impairments: sudden infant death syndrome, some forms of infantile convulsions or psychiatric disturbances and even in adults cardiovascular diseases and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The protocol of the multicenter trials of maternal magnesium supplementation should be followed not only in the mother, the fetus, and the neonate, but also in the child and even throughout life from infancy until older age...”

“Conclusion
Identification of the nervous form of magnesium deficit goes further than mere rhetorical interest. In the presence of a non specific pattern of hyperventilation or chronic fatigue syndrome, of neurosis, of idiopathic tetany, of Barlow's disease or of neurovegetative dystonia, one must have in mind primary magnesium deficit which should be controlled by specific and atoxic therapy. Primary or secondary magnesium deficit calls for a differential diagnosis distinguishing between magnesium deficiency due to an insufficient magnesium intake requiring simple oral physiological magnesium supplementation and magnesium depletion related to a dysregulation of the control mechanisms of magnesium status. The various types of magnesium depletion require more or less specific correction of their causal dysregulation. Further research should provide a better insight of the pathophysiological mechanisms which differentiate magnesium deficiency from the various types of magnesium depletion and suggest efficient treatment in experimental and clinical magnesium depletions and in related types of pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases.”

The nervous form of magnesium imbalance represents the best documented experimental and clinical aspects of magnesium disorders. The nervous form of primary magnesium deficit (MD) in the adult appears as the best descriptive model for analysis of the symptomatology, aetiology, physiopathology, diagn...
