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 rate, mental balance, and stress resistance also depend significantly on adequate magnesium intake.
The body cannot produce magnesium itself and can only store it to a limited extent. Therefore, a continuous intake through diet—or, if necessary, through supplementation—is particularly important.
What causes a magnesium deficiency?
Magnesium deficiency can have many causes:
-
One-sided or magnesium-deficient diet
-
Increased need during stress, pregnancy, exercise, illness or medication
-
Digestive disorders that impair intestinal absorption
-
Alcohol, diets or insufficient food intake
Typical symptoms range from muscle cramps and tension to exhaustion, sleep disorders, inner restlessness or irritability.
Why is magnesium particularly useful through the skin?
Absorbing magnesium through the skin—such as with the MYHERO Magnesium Oil Spray or Gel—offers a crucial advantage: The absorption rate is independent of your intestinal health. The magnesium enters the bloodstream directly through the skin, supplying your cells where it's needed.
This application is a gentle but effective alternative, especially for people who do not tolerate oral forms of magnesium well (e.g. due to diarrhea or bloating).
For whom is targeted magnesium intake particularly important?
-
Active athletes: for muscle regeneration and prevention of cramps
-
Pregnant & breastfeeding women: to support the increased need
-
People with stress or sleep problems: to calm nerves and psyche
-
Seniors: when magnesium absorption through the intestines decreases
-
Children & teenagers: for concentration, development & healthy bones
