Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
Magnesium is an essential mineral in the human diet. It is the second most abundant Intracellular cation (Mg2+) and is involved in more than 350 enzymatic reactions and over 80% of metabolic functions.
Magnesium is needed for cellular energy metabolism, DNA transcription, RNA synthesis, membrane stabilisation, and calcium metabolism, among many other functions.
Athletes and labourers may be low in magnesium, because perspiring and the use of large muscles tend to deplete it. Lactating women require higher magnesium intake, as do adolescents.
In a healthy person, half of the ingested magnesium is typically absorbed. But many lifestyle, environmental, and dietary factors can lower the availability of magnesium, including missed meals, the use of diuretics, fast and high-fat foods, alcohol, and soft drinks, which are high in phosphates that leach magnesium from the body.
Additionally, acid rain washes magnesium from the soil, fluoridation depletes it from drinking water, and the processing of grains and other foods lowers their magnesium content.
