Why do we need magnesium? [2024]

Why do we need magnesium?

Magnesium is a vital mineral that supports over 300 enzymatic processes in the body – including muscle function, energy metabolism, the nervous system, and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Your heart rhythm, mental balance, and stress resistance also depend significantly on an adequate magnesium intake.

The body cannot produce magnesium itself and can only store it to a limited extent. Therefore, a continuous supply through diet – or through supplements in cases of increased need – is particularly important.

What causes a magnesium deficiency?

Magnesium deficiency can have many causes:

A one-sided or magnesium-deficient diet
Increased need during stress, pregnancy, sports, illness or medication use
Digestive disorders that impair absorption in the intestine
Alcohol, diets , or insufficient food intake

Typical symptoms range from muscle cramps and tension to exhaustion, sleep disturbances, inner restlessness or irritability.

Why is magnesium particularly beneficial when applied to the skin?

Absorbing magnesium through the skin – as with the MYHERO Magnesium Oil Spray or Gel – offers a crucial advantage: The absorption rate is independent of your gut health. The magnesium enters the bloodstream directly through the skin and supplies your cells where it's needed.

Especially for people who do not tolerate oral forms of magnesium well (e.g. due to diarrhea or bloating), this application is a gentle but effective alternative.

For whom is a targeted magnesium intake particularly important?

For active athletes: for muscle regeneration and to prevent cramps
Pregnant and breastfeeding women: to support the increased need
For people with stress or sleep problems: to calm nerves and mind
Seniors: in cases of decreased magnesium absorption through the intestines
Children & teenagers: for concentration, development & healthy bones
