Magnesium Test
Magnesium is one of the body's most important minerals, supporting hundreds of biochemical processes that keep your heart, muscles, nerves, bones, and energy systems functioning properly. The ICare Magnesium Test measures the level of magnesium in your blood to help identify deficiencies or imbalances that may affect your overall health.
Low magnesium levels can develop gradually and may contribute to symptoms such as muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness, irregular heartbeat, or numbness and tingling. Because magnesium plays a vital role in many body systems, maintaining healthy levels is essential for long-term wellness.
Whether you're experiencing symptoms, managing a chronic medical condition, or taking a proactive approach to preventive healthcare, the ICare Magnesium Test provides valuable insight into your nutritional and metabolic health.
With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, advanced laboratory testing is delivered directly to your home, office, or preferred location.
