It is difficult to say.

1) you might be losing it from the kidneys quickly. If you have undiagnosed kidney problems this may be a factor

2) you may be saturating the transport mechanism by taking
large doses all at once, instead of spacing the total daily dose out into smaller doses.

3) you may be using a drug that depletes magnesium

4) Diuretics including alcohol and caffeine will deplete magnesium.

5) diabetics lose magnesium naturally thru the kidneys...the reason for this is not well understood.
