Pure Encapsulations - Magnesium (Citrate) - Hypoallergenic Supplement Supports Nutrient Utilization and Physiological Functions* - 180 Capsules
Magnesium in the human body
The human body contains about 70 g of magnesium (magnesium), about 60% is in the bones, the remaining amount in the body's fluid medium, soft tissues and muscles, a high concentration of magnesium in brain and heart cells.
Magnesium in humans:
Metabolism: a macro element takes part in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including those with the participation of an energy-saving molecule - adenosine triphosphate, ADP. Most active in those that relate to energy utilization. As well as magnesium is needed for protein production, DNA, for glucose cleavage, elimination of toxins from the body, for the absorption of vitamin C, thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6). Magnesium contributes to the stability of the cell structure during growth, participates in the process of regeneration of the body cells.
Interaction with calcium: magnesium, interacting with calcium, is involved in various processes - in the regulation of the tone of blood vessels, in the contraction of muscles. Calcium is needed to reduce the smooth muscles of blood vessels, while magnesium is used to relax muscles and dilate arteries.
Magnesium can affect the level of calcium, affecting the hormones that control the absorption and exchange of calcium, and also affect the cellular level - the spread of calcium in the body. The optimal diet assumes a 2: 1 ratio of calcium and magnesium.
Movement of ions: magnesium contributes to the maintenance of the electric potential of the membranes, the penetration of calcium, sodium, potassium ions through them. He also takes part in the transmission of nerve impulses.
Action of insulin: actively interacting with insulin, is able to increase its secretion and improve penetration into cells.
Use of magnesium:
beneficial effect on bone growth;
coordinates heart rhythm, lowers high blood pressure;
regulates blood sugar levels;
helps to improve respiratory function in chronic asthma, emphysema, bronchitis;
is a prophylactic against muscle and joint pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine;
normalizes the condition in premenstrual syndrome;
reduces the negative effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy;
promotes healthy teeth, strengthens enamel;
prevents deposits of calcium, gallstones and kidneys.
Magnesium in food
Plant foods contain large amounts of magnesium, half of the norm can be satisfied with cereals and bread products.
Magnesium in products:
cereals, cereals (oatmeal, barley);
white cabbage, soy flour, peas, beans, sunflower seeds;
figs, lemons, grapefruits, apples, bananas, apricots;
sweet almonds, nuts;
flounder, carp, shrimp, grouper, halibut, herring, mackerel, cod;
milk, cottage cheese (low proportion, but easily digestible form).
Daily rate of magnesium - 400 mg, the maximum allowable amount of consumption - 800 mg. Also, the rate of magnesium is calculated as 4 mg per 1 kg of weight. Normal diet, as a rule, includes 200-400 mg per day.
Magnesium in food. Magnesium deficiency in the body. Magnesium deficiency in many countries is one of the most common types of mineral deficiency.
Causes of lack of magnesium in the body:
Disorders of the exchange of this macro.
The unsatisfactory amount of food intake.
Increased consumption of magnesium during pregnancy, intensive growth, recovery, in the case of chronic alcoholism, with excessive sweating.
The deterioration of the process of assimilation under the influence of excessive levels of lipids, calcium, phosphates.
Constant stressful situations.
Insulin Disorder.
Long-term use of antibiotics (gentamicin), diuretics, anticancer and other drugs.
Intravenous health food.
Cobalt poisoning, manganese, cadmium, aluminum, beryllium, lead, nickel.
Disruption of the absorption of the macro in the intestine as a result of the following conditions:
- Acute or chronic disease of the small intestine.
- Reduction of the absorbing surface of the intestine in the process of radiotherapy, surgical intervention (resection).
- Steatorrhea, when magnesium binds to non-absorbable fatty acids and is excreted in the stool.
- Dysbacteriosis in the colon.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency:
Key features:
Paresthesias - sensitivity disorders, for which the characters feel numbness, tingling, itching, goosebumps, painful cold, etc.
Hidden or overt tetany is a pathological condition for which a convulsive syndrome and increased neuromuscular excitability are typical.
Other symptoms of magnesium deficiency:
fatigue, irritability, insomnia, nightmares, severe awakening (due to the untimely production of adrenal hormones);
loss of appetite, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting;
diseases of the cardiovascular system: hypertension, arrhythmias, angina pectoris, angiospasms;
adrenal disorders;
development of the initial stages of diabetes, urolithiasis and gallstone disease;
immunodeficiency states, increasing the likelihood of developing tumor diseases.
Excess magnesium in the body (hypermagnesia)
Magnesium is not a toxic macronutrient, the lethal dose for humans has not been established. Significant doses for a long time can cause poisoning, especially when taken simultaneously with calcium and phosphorus.
The increase in the content of magnesium in the blood is possible when taking antacids, which include magnesium, or laxatives in patients with chronic renal failure. Deterioration of the kidneys (filtration) can cause a significant increase in serum magnesium, for example, in acute renal failure with oliguria.
Excess magnesium can cause:
dyslexia (impaired ability to master reading skills); excess magnesium
hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands;
arthritis;
nephrocalcinosis (deposition of calcium salts in the tissues of the kidneys);
psoriasis.
Injection of magnesium sulfate can cause the following symptoms of intoxication: general depression, lethargy and drowsiness.
Causes of excess magnesium:
Excessive intake of macronutrient in the body.
Magnesium metabolism disorders.
Symptoms of excess magnesium in the body: loss of strength, drowsiness, lethargy, decreased performance
diarrhea.
