Magnesium is one of the most present minerals in the human body and half of the total amount is found in the bones.
Magnesium acts as a co-factor in a series of enzymatic reactions that regulate the secretion of glucose and insulin, it can also reduce the frequency of migraines and heart attacks and is useful for people with atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease (1).
It is directly or indirectly responsible for hundreds of chemical reactions in our body that affect:
It is found in nature in:
Magnesium is important in the metabolism of vitamin D and its actions.
Severe magnesium deficiency can lead to:
Neuromuscular hyperexcitability and warning signs can be cramps in the upper or lower limbs. (2), cardiovascular problems and arteriosclerosis (3).
On the other hand, a diet based on fruits and vegetables, which increased the magnesium content from 176mg a day to 423mg a day, reduced blood pressure in adults not classified as hypertensive (4).
In elderly people there was a lack of magnesium intake due both to the reduced appetite, to a decrease in taste and smell, to the loss of teeth and to the difficulty of daily shopping, as well as to the disaffection from cooking. Furthermore, due to age, magnesium absorption tends to decrease due to physiological issues. (5)
Many studies have focused on the optimal amount of magnesium to be taken depending on age and sex and can also be effective to counter the migraine (6).
Magnesium salts are used in treatments for preserving the integrity of the blood system, urine pH, etc. Names:
