Magnesium — an essential mineral

The human body contains about 25 grams of magnesium, most of it stored in bones and muscles. This mineral is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions and takes part in many processes of energy metabolism.

Magnesium (Mg) — Atomic number 12

Where is magnesium found naturally?

Magnesium is found in a wide variety of foods. Cashews, almonds, spinach, black beans, rolled oats and dark chocolate are especially rich sources. Some mineral waters can also provide significant amounts.

Depending on age and sex, health authorities recommend a daily intake of 300 to 400 mg of magnesium for adults.

The authorized health claim

Magnesium & electrolyte balance

“Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.”

Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 of May 16, 2012

Electrolytes — including magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium — are involved in fluid balance, nerve conduction and muscle contraction. Adequate electrolyte balance is a prerequisite for many physiological processes to work properly.

Why electrolyte balance matters

Electrolytes are minerals that carry electrical charges and are dissolved in body fluids. They are involved in pH balance, osmotic pressure and the transmission of nerve impulses.

Magnesium influences the distribution of other electrolytes such as potassium and calcium inside the cells.
An imbalance can affect various bodily functions — from muscle contractions to heart rhythm.
Getting enough magnesium from food or, where appropriate, from dietary supplements can contribute to maintaining electrolyte balance.
Athletes, older adults and people who sweat excessively may have higher magnesium needs.
