Benefits of magnesium
Magnesium is a very useful supplement to human well-being: thanks to its properties it helps to rebalance our body in a natural way, increasing the sense of well-being and giving vitality and good humor
Magnesium is present in many foods such as cereals, green leafy vegetables and fruit.
Despite its spread in many food products most people suffer from magnesium deficiency and fill this gab by taking natural magnesium based supplements.
In fact, due to the stressful rhythms of modern life, only 30-40% of magnesium introduced with food into the body is actually assimilated.
Magnesium supplements are sold in pharmacies but also in large areas of organized distribution.
They normally come in the form of a powder to be dissolved in water, and are easily absorbed by the body.
The daily magnesium requirement varies according to age and sex
For adult males, the requirement is about 400 mg, or about two teaspoons.
For women, the requirement is about 320 mg a day (a teaspoon and a half), a little more in girls or pregnant women.
As always it is important to consult a doctor before taking any supplement.
However, specialists usually suggest taking a teaspoon of magnesium in the morning, on an empty stomach, and one just before bedtime, always on an empty stomach.
