You body uses magnesium apparently in the uptake of calcium. A deficiency in magnesium would likely result in a deficiency in calcium so possible weakening of the bones and connective tissues in joints. Outside of the uptake of calcium I am not aware of other uses of magnesium is the human body but with other mineral deficiencies can trigger swollen abdomens, chronic fatigue, hair loss, all of which appear to be common side effective to mineral deficiencies. In an severe cases organ failure and death may also be possible.
