Importance of Magnesium

The human body is not able to produce magnesium itself.Daily intake of sufficient quantities through food is therefore very important, because magnesium is required for around 80% of all metabolic processes.Every energy-dependent process in the body requires magnesium.Every muscle movement, the activity of the internal organs or the nerve functions - all of these central body functions would not be possible without magnesium or would run incorrectly.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

Due to the numerous functions of magnesium, a deficiency can manifest itself in a wide variety of symptoms, including muscle cramps, tension in the neck, shoulder and back area, restless leg syndrome, eyelid and muscle twitching, sensory disorders, general weakness and fatigue, headaches/migraines, cardiac arrhythmias, rapid heartbeat and feeling of pressure, high blood pressure, tendency to diabetes mellitus, nervousness, inner restlessness and sleep disorders, depressed mood and feelings of anxiety, increased susceptibility to stress,Irritable bowel symptoms and menstrual problems.

Causes of magnesium deficiency

Magnesium balance depends on four factors: intake, requirement, loss and rate of absorption from the intestine.A deficiency occurs when not enough magnesium is supplied, there is an increased need, the body excretes too much magnesium due to illness or stress, or the absorption of the mineral into the body is disturbed.

Foods rich in magnesium are primarily natural foods such as nuts, seeds, whole grain products, brown rice and millet.Cocoa and chocolate also contain a lot of magnesium.However, a diet rich in fat and phosphates, such as fast food, is unfavorable.Vegetables, fruits and salads are healthy but low in magnesium.Valuable magnesium is lost through the industrial processing and preparation of food.Although whole grain products are rich in magnesium, they also contain a lot of phytic acid, which reduces the absorption of the mineral.

A healthy adult should consume 300 to 350 mg of magnesium daily through food.However, there are situations in which the body needs more magnesium, such as during physically or mentally demanding work, during sweaty sports, during prolonged stress, during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.Children have a higher magnesium requirement in relation to their body weight, especially when they are growing.

In some diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, the body loses more magnesium through the urine.Unnoticed magnesium losses often occur in people who have to take water tablets.Alcohol and soft drinks can also turn out to be “magnesium robbers”.

Sometimes the body does not absorb enough magnesium, even though enough is consumed.Absorption can be impaired by diarrhea, chronic intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease, impaired intestinal function in diabetics and older people, as well as by certain medications such as laxatives, antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors.There are also hereditary predispositions that affect the absorption of magnesium in the digestive tract.

Area of application
