Magnesium

What is Magnesium? Magnesium is an essential mineral for human health. Necessary for over 300 chemical reactions in the human body, it has a fundamental role for the functioning of muscles and nerves ; strengthens the immune system ; helps maintain normal blood glucose levels and maintains bone health .

Since only about 30-40% of the magnesium present in food is assimilated by the body , the use of food supplements is often useful.

In this section you will find all the magnesium-based food supplements of the best brands such as: Natural Point , Equilibra and Solgar .

Magnesium is used today mainly to treat:

• Muscle cramps and bone fragility;
