Action

Magnesium is an activator of many enzymes, incl. carrying high-energy phosphate compounds. It is a regulator of the cell cycle, e.g. it determines the correct concentration of potassium in the cell. Plays an important role in the process of muscle contraction (including the heart muscle), affects the neuromuscular excitability (calcium antagonist). It also has a positive effect on the blood coagulation process - it is a stabilizer of platelets and fibrinogen. It stimulates the body's defenses, contributes to the proper development of the skeletal system and has a calming effect. Magnesium deficiency is manifested by increased muscle tension, muscle tremors, muscle cramps, in extreme cases weakness, nausea and vomiting, tetany attacks, heart rhythm disturbances, mental changes - depressive symptoms, irritability, anxiety, hallucinations, sleep disturbances. The daily demand for magnesium is about 300 mg and increases with accelerated gastrointestinal transit, excessive alcohol consumption, stressful situations, and excessive exercise.
