Rating of the best magnesium preparations for 2024

300 biochemical processes in the human body require the participation of magnesium, and another 600 enzymatic reactions are provided by its activity. The main areas of influence are the nervous system and the brain.

A large proportion of Mg is consumed:

• with muscle stress;
• in saunas and steam rooms;
• with the intensive growth of a developing organism.

Deficit

The primary deficiency is heredity.

Stress is one of the main causes of secondary magnesium deficiency. According to statistics, 80% of the population of Russia live in constant stress due to working and living conditions.

The lack of a substance necessary in the human body of any age for stable work at the cellular level is associated with the high-temperature processing of products before consumption and a low percentage of food use:

• beans;
• fresh green apples;
• dates;
• seafood;
• salad;
• nuts;
• seeds;
• green sweet pepper;
• wheat bran.

If the daily intake is violated, which is 400-420 mg for men and 310-320 mg for women, you can find a lot of problems with the quality of connective tissues. Deviations in systems and organs inevitably come into force:

1. nerve fibers;
2. vision;
3. musculoskeletal system;
4. of cardio-vascular system.

An additional risk group also includes hypertensive patients, patients using diuretics, in which a large proportion of existing magnesium leaves the body, and people with prolonged external and internal stresses.

For older people, the lack of a substance is chronic and provokes an increase in calcium levels, which leads to thrombosis.

How to choose the right drug

If Mg acts as an active ingredient, then the medication can be taken only after consulting a doctor. It is not always possible to independently assess the risk of side effects.

Dosage

The instruction is a useful thing, but it is intended for pharmacists and doctors. Scenario: I will buy it myself, I will prescribe the dosage, I will treat myself - it is very dangerous. You can now get expert advice in absentia, you should not jeopardize your health.

Additive or complex

The complex of vitamins and minerals is slightly higher in price, this is due to the components differing in quality and the brand's reputation. The course reception of the complex compensates for the accompanying deficiency of trace elements and improves overall well-being by an order of magnitude.

What are organic magnesium compounds

Standard substances include orotates (orotic acid), lactates (lactic acid), citrates (citric acid), aspartates (amino succinic), and malates (malic acid). Anions of the molecule, that is, negative particles are represented by radicals of the above organic acids. These compounds are part of the majority of dietary supplements and drugs.

Selection errors

Magnesia sulphate or Mg sulfate are inorganic compounds; Mg oxide - MgO can also be included in this group. These substances are united by the impossibility of eliminating the deficiency of a trace element. The gastrointestinal tract is unable to assimilate compounds, bioavailability is close to zero. Everyone knows the way to deal with constipation through magnesia.

Doctors are familiar with the emergency intravenous administration of MgSO4 for emergency treatment. However, as a long-term compensation for the deficiency of the trace element Mg in the body, all of the above compounds are not suitable, they simply do not work.

Only organic complexes are available.

It is important to determine whether the use of a drug is required or whether a dietary supplement is enough for a general improvement in well-being. With drug treatment, you must consult a doctor and choose a complex type drug or exclusively magnesium.

It should be remembered that with self-medication, an overdose is possible, which manifests itself in dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and heart rhythm failure.

The best magnesium supplements

Experts have proven that the use of magnesium in conjunction with the vitamin pyridoxine or B6, it can also be pyridoxal phosphate, builds a stress-resistant barrier and helps maintain the level of these substances.

Conclusion

You can not treat the lack of important substances in the body carelessly.

It should be remembered that magnesium deficiency provokes:

1. loss of control over emotions;
2. violation of concentration of attention;
3. oppression of the function of perception of information;
4. decrease in overall body temperature;
5. arrhythmia;
6. poor tissue regeneration;
7. tremor of the limbs;
8. muscle irritability.

The physician can increase the list of possible troubles after the examination, but this list is enough to check the level of Mg in your body and take action.
