Importance of Magnesium

The human body cannot produce magnesium itself, which is why daily intake through food is crucial.Magnesium is involved in around 80% of all metabolic processes and is essential for muscle movements, the function of internal organs and nerve activity.A deficiency can therefore have far-reaching effects.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

A magnesium deficiency can manifest itself in a variety of symptoms, including muscle cramps, tension, restless legs syndrome, eyelid and muscle twitching, sensory disorders, general weakness and fatigue, headaches, cardiac arrhythmias, high blood pressure, tendency to diabetes mellitus, nervousness, inner restlessness, sleep disorders, depressed mood, feelings of anxiety, increased susceptibility to stress, irritable bowel symptoms and menstrual problems.

Causes of magnesium deficiency

Magnesium balance is influenced by intake, requirement, loss and absorption rate from the intestine.A deficiency can arise if too little magnesium is taken in, the requirement is increased, the body excretes too much magnesium or the absorption is disturbed.Foods rich in magnesium include nuts, seeds, whole grains, brown rice and millet.However, absorption can be impaired by phytic acid in whole grain products or by certain diseases and medications.
