The University of Massachusetts Medical School measured the Magnesium intake of 234 people and found that over 70% did not meet the RDA for Magnesium consumption. This is in keeping with other research indicating that less than 20% to 30% of the American population consumes adequate Magnesium. Magnesium intake was graded at the start of the study, and again six-months and twelve-months into the study.
