There are various forms of magnesium supplements. In the clinic, in the intensive care unit, we inject magnesium sulfate into the vein, for example for cardiac arrhythmias or constipation. At home, you should take magnesium citrate, for example, if you take magnesium powder or something like that. Do you like my channel and would you like to say thank you?

These are among the possible signs of a #magnesium deficiency. If such an undersupply persists over the long term, it can have far-reaching consequences, especially for your heart and metabolism! There are many different causes of such a magnesium deficiency that you may not even be aware of. That is why it is important that you know the background, consequences and symptoms of a deficiency so that you can recognize it in time and do something about it. But also important: Overdoses can also be dangerous. Be careful with kidney problems and cardiac arrhythmias. Gastrointestinal problems are also a typical side effect. What does the body need magnesium for? Magnesium is an important mineral in the body without which we could not survive. It is essential, which means that the body cannot produce it itself. Therefore, it must be ingested with food. 60% of magnesium is found in your bones, 30% in your muscles and only 1% in the blood. Magnesium is an important component of various enzymes and coenzymes and is therefore involved in some processes in the body, such as metabolism and protein synthesis. Magnesium is also involved in the stabilization of DNA, i.e. genetic information. As an electrolyte, it enables electrical signal transmission together with the other electrolytes, i.e. the transmission of stimuli in the body and cells. How does a magnesium deficiency arise? Since your body relies on the absorption of magnesium through food, it is logical that this could also be the first cause. A one-sided and unbalanced diet can lead to a #magnesium deficiency because then too little of it is absorbed. This may be because many soils and plants are very low in magnesium and some foods therefore simply contain less magnesium. In addition, a large part of the mineral can be lost if cooked for too long. Ready-made products also contain fewer important nutrients such as magnesium. If it is not due to diet, impaired absorption of the minerals due to an illness such as celiac disease may be the cause. A deficiency can also arise if the need for magnesium is increased. According to the German Nutrition Society, the daily requirement for adults is between 300 mg for women and 350 mg for men. However, this can be due to exercise, for example.
