I agree with previous opinions, but it is important to know that one third of the daily magnesium content should be taken by drinking water or mineral water. The ionized form of magnesium is better utilized in the body.

It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heart beat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps regulate blood glucose levels and aid in the production of energy and protein. Copied.

Magnesium plays an important role in relaying signals between your brain and body.It acts as the gatekeeper for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which are found on your nerve cells and aid brain development, memory and learning (3).In healthy adults, magnesium sits inside the NMDA receptors, preventing them from being triggered by weak signals that may stimulate your nerve cells unnecessarily.

Magnesium assists to maintain muscle and nerve function in human body. It is responsible for the activation of more than 300 enzymes in the body. The deficiency of magnesium disrupts the biochemical function in the human body especially the nervous system.

Thank you dear Arvind Singh

The shared data is comprehensive. Just went thru the initial abstracts and will read all. Grateful.

So magnesium helps following:

1- Nerve conduction

2-Enzyme activation

3-DNA processing

4-inceasevitamin D absorption

others can add to list

In the pdf-1document it says that zinc interferes with Mg absorption?

Magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body, including the metabolism of food, synthesis of fatty acids and proteins, and the transmission of nerve impulses.

Magnesium is important for bone formation. It helps assimilate calcium into the bone and plays a role in activating vitamin D in the kidneys. Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones.

magnesium are important for maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis.

Without magnesium, a high intake of calcium can increase the risk of arterial calcification and cardiovascular disease, as well as kidney stones.

Magnesium plays an important role in carbohydrate and glucose metabolism, so magnesium status can also impact the risk of diabetes.

Magnesium is necessary to maintain the health of muscles, including the heart, and for the transmission of electrical signals in the body.

Adequate magnesium intake has been associated with a lower risk of:

atherosclerosis, a fatty buildup on the walls of arteries

hypertension, or high blood pressure

Ensuring an adequate intake of magnesium, especially combined with vitamin B6, may help relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as bloating, insomnia, leg swelling, weight gain, and breast tenderness.

Reductions in magnesium levels, or changes in the way that it is processed, have been linked to increased levels of anxiety.

This appears to related activity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a set of three glands that control a person's reaction to stress.

Magnesium deficiency is rare, but it may affect older people. It can result from excess consumption of alcohol, some health conditions, such as a gastrointestinal disorder, and the use of some medications.

Symptoms include:

loss of appetite

nausea and vomiting

fatigue and weakness

More advanced symptoms include:

numbness and tingling

muscle cramps

seizures

personality changes

heart rhythm changes and spasms

Deficiency is linked to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, and osteoporosis. It can lead to low calcium or low potassium levels in the blood.

Magnesium is the cofactor for all the important enzymatic reactions in our body. But excess of magnesium might cause some side effects and

whereas Large doses might cause serious side effects like irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, confusion, coma, and even death.

Over time, low magnesium can weaken your bones, give you bad headaches, make you feel nervous, and even hurt your heart. It can also lead to low levels of other important minerals like calcium and potassium. High levels of magnesium are much less common than low levels.

Dear Nihada Ahmetovic and all friends

Can we define a dose beyond which it becomes non-healthy. i guess it is prescribed pharmacologically as magnesium sulphate

Magnesium is an important mineral salts, a chemical chemical element, the atomic number 12, the fourth most important natural minerals in the body. 50% of the magnesium is found in the bones, 49% inside the tissue cells and 1% in the blood. The body needs 300 mg of magnesium daily.

One of the most important sources of magnesium in food: cereals of all kinds: such as lentils, beans, soybeans, white beans ... Green vegetables ... Dairy products such as whole fat milk, yogurt, cheese...

Magnesium is one of the seven important minerals in the body. It plays a role in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, which include the transmission of nerve impulses, food metabolism, as well as the synthesis of proteins and fatty acids. The human body contains approximately 25 milligrams of magnesium; 50-60% of them are stored in the skeleton, and the remainder is distributed in body fluids, muscles, and smooth tissues. [1]

Being a central part of chlorophyll, magnesium are acquired through leafy green vegetables. Possible beneficial role involves improvement of bone health, reduction in migraine headaches, diabetes prevention and relieving anxiety etc.

Magnesium is one of the six essential macro-minerals that comprise 99% of the body’s mineral content. Magnesium helps build bones, enables nerves to function, and is essential to the production of energy from food.

Nuts and seeds

Flax seeds, pumpkins and Chia seeds are rich in both magnesium and fiber. Snacks on almonds, cashew nuts and Brazilian nuts can also be used to alleviate the shortage.

Magnesium has an important role in kept heart rhythm steady , maintaining nerve function , management of blood sugar , and kept bonds strong.

Dates are a nutrient rich in magnesium

Bananas for a Magnesium-Rich Snack. ... Bananas may be better known for being rich in heart-healthy and bone-strengthening potassium, but a medium-size banana also provides 32 mg of magnesium, along with vitamin C and fiber.

Magnesium acts as the gatekeeper for receptors, which are involved in healthy brain development and learning.

Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate is healthy, tasty and rich in magnesium. One serving of dark chocolate (28 grams) contains about 64 milligrams of magnesium, equivalent to 16 percent of your daily need.

Your heart is one of the organs that need magnesium the most. By promoting the production of ATP and supporting proper muscle function, this mineral allows the heart to efficiently pump blood throughout the entire body. It also acts as an electrolyte, which means that it’s partially responsible for the electrical activity that regulates the timing of your heartbeat.

Considering the impact of magnesium on heart health, it’s not surprising that some of the common heart diseases are associated with a deficiency in this mineral. Hypertension, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and cardiac arrhythmia are just some of the problems that you may encounter if you have insufficient amounts of magnesium in your body.

To prevent life-threatening heart diseases, make sure that you keep your heart healthy by optimizing your magnesium levels. Studies have shown that there is an inverse association between magnesium intake and CVD. This simply means that when you increase your body’s magnesium levels, your risk for developing CVD may become lower. Another study also suggests that magnesium may help regulate blood pressure and prevent stroke since it relaxes the blood vessels.

Protects Your Heart

If you’re an athlete, you know that magnesium is important for muscles. So what about the most important muscle in your body? Lower magnesium in your diet equates with higher risks of heart disease. That’s because magnesium fuels the heart, protects your heart’s pump, prevents heart attacks, and provides elasticity for heart and blood vessels.

Research from 2016 found that magnesium reduces calcium build up in your heart and arteries (called coronary artery calcification). This is a marker of atherosclerosis and a predictor of cardiovascular death. People with the highest magnesium had 42% lower odds of coronary artery calcification compared to those with the lowest serum magnesium. They also had 48% lower odds of hypertension, and 69% lower odds of myotonic dystrophy (muscle wasting disease that affects many muscles including the heart)
