Magnesium (Mg)
Magnesium is essential for many metabolic processes, especially the correct distribution of sodium, potassium and calcium across the cell membranes. Most of it is stored in the bones. It is often called the anti-stress mineral as it helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function. Magnesium also keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, keeps bones strong, helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. It also plays a role in preventing and managing migraines, PMS, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, kidney stones and diabetes. Adult requirements are around 300-400mg/day. Waters rich in Magnesium(mg/L) include: Magnesia (170), Gerolsteiner(108), San Pellegrino(52), Puit St Georges(33) and Weta(31).
