Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral that can be easily purchased in pharmacies, in the different formats available, such as drops, soluble powder or magnesium tablets.

Magnesium supplements can be useful for people with increased needs (athletes, old age, restrictive diets...) or who do not achieve adequate intake through diet. They are used to prevent or treat magnesium deficiency states, which can cause fatigue or muscle cramps, among other health problems.

Some of the benefits and properties of magnesium are:

• It contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and nerves, helping to prevent cramps, tics and contractures.
• It participates in the structure of bones and teeth, promoting bone health.
• It helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Improves energy metabolism.
• Regulates heart rate.
• Contributes to the balance of electrolytes in the body.
• Facilitates muscle relaxation, so it can help improve sleep quality, reducing anxiety.
• Supports the immune system and cell division.
