Magnesium chloride is a naturally occurring substance in nature. Compared to other magnesium complexes available as a dietary supplement, it has a high average concentration of elemental magnesium.
Description and basic properties of magnesium chloride
Magnesium chloride is a chemical compound consisting of one magnesium and two chloride atoms. As a typical ionic halide, it is easily soluble in water. Hydrated magnesium chloride is obtained from seawater, and anhydrous, in the form of the mineral bischofite, from deposits on the site of ancient seabeds. The substance has been known for a long time and has found application in many different fields from metal mining to cooking, where it is known under the name nigari and is used as a coagulant for making tofu from soy milk.
As a dietary supplement, magnesium chloride is a valuable natural source of the mineral magnesium, which plays an important role in over 300 metabolic reactions in the human body. It is vital for the regulation of blood sugar and heart activity, ensures the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles, and participates in the biosynthesis of proteins, RNA and DNA.
Since the human body does not have reserves of magnesium, it must be obtained daily through various foods. The mineral is contained in most plants, with nuts, legumes, fruits and vegetables being very good sources. Unfortunately, human intervention in the natural development of plant species also affects their chemical composition. This is one of the reasons for the shortage of beneficial substances for the body that are usually taken with food, observed in recent years.
Magnesium deficiency in the body initially causes relatively mild symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, depression, fasciculations (involuntary muscle contractions, arrhythmia). However, long-term deficiency can cause a number of serious conditions such as asthma, migraines, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and colon cancer.
Benefits of taking magnesium chloride
[/b[b]]Promotes relaxation and reduces stress – Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system and helps the body relax physically and mentally. It is a key factor in the process of transmitting signals in the nervous system and acts as a kind of filter, preventing excessive stimulation of neurons to reduce nervous tension.
Normalizes the work of the cardiovascular system – The normal level of magnesium in the body is crucial for the normal work of the heart. It helps the heart muscle relax after the contraction caused by calcium. Disruption of the balance between the concentrations of the two minerals can lead to serious disturbances in the heart rhythm, in some cases with fatal consequences.
Improves sleep quality – Magnesium acts as a filter that prevents nerve cells from becoming overloaded, thus helping to reduce stress accumulated during the day. In this way, it makes it easier to fall asleep, prolongs sleep duration, and improves its overall quality.
Improves performance in sports – The mechanism of opposition of magnesium and calcium also governs the work of skeletal muscles. In case of magnesium deficiency, contractions become stronger, which can lead to cramps and cramps. The mineral is an important factor in processes such as energy production, oxygen absorption and electrolyte balance, which play an important role in physical exertion, and the ability of the mineral to promote relaxation also contributes to a more complete recovery after exercise.
The beneficial effects of taking magnesium as a dietary supplement, which scientists continue to research, include improving blood sugar control, preventing osteoporosis, relieving migraine pain, and stabilizing patients with glaucoma.
