Magnesium – a vital mineral

For the Sep­tem­ber issue of the maga­zi­ne “Vital­stof­fe”, Dr. Sonja John, Head of Product and Appli­ca­ti­on Manage­ment at MAGNESIA, and Katrin Schultz, Busi­ness Deve­lo­p­ment Manager at MAGNESIA, gave an infor­ma­ti­ve inter­view on the subject of mine­rals. The focus was on highly soluble magne­si­um oxide and its many posi­ti­ve effects.

Magne­si­um is essen­ti­al for num­e­rous meta­bo­lic pro­ces­ses and the func­tion of the brain, heart and ske­le­tal muscles. It is a co-factor for many enzymes that regu­la­te bio­che­mi­cal pro­ces­ses such as energy meta­bo­lism, protein syn­the­sis and blood sugar levels. However, the fact is that many people consume less magne­si­um than recom­men­ded, which can lead to defi­ci­en­cy sym­ptoms such as muscle weak­ne­ss and cramps.

Sonja John empha­si­zed in this context: “Magne­si­um oxide has a posi­ti­ve effect on mental sta­bi­li­ty and of course also on the muscles and nerves.” She also empha­si­zed the importance of magne­si­um oxide in food sup­ple­ments for general health. Katrin Schultz added that a needs-based magne­si­um supply is essen­ti­al to avoid sym­ptoms such as neu­ro­mus­cu­lar dys­func­tion and muscle cramps. She also explai­ned the dif­fe­rent dosage forms of magne­si­um that can be chosen accor­ding to need and preference.
