Magnesium deficiency may be caused due to
1. Diet.
2. Alcohol abuse.
3. Chronic stress.
4. Poorly controlled diabetes.
5. Excessive or chronic vomiting and/or diarrhea.
6. Phytate or oxalate in the diet may bind magnesium causing it to be eliminated from rather than absorbed in the colon.

8. Also deficiency may occur in Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome.
