Magnesium is an essential mineral which is required for growth and
survival of humans. Since magnesium is a mineral and not
synthesizable it must be obtained through dietary foods and/or
supplements. Magnesium in Human Health and Disease reviews the
benefits of magnesium supplementation to reach recommended intakes
as well as provides new research that suggests how reaching levels
above the recommended intakes can promote health and treat various
diseases. Magnesium deficiency can cause low serum potassium and
calcium levels, retention of sodium, and low circulating levels of
regulatory hormones. These changes in nutrients cause neurological
and muscular symptoms such as tremor and muscle spasms. Further
magnesium deficiency causes loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,
personality changes and death from heart failure. Causes of
magnesium deficiency include alcohol abuse, poorly controlled
diabetes, excessive or chronic vomiting and/or diarrhea. Thus the
effects of inadequate and deficient intakes or levels of magnesium
is critical to health and are reviewed by the expert clinicians in
this book. Magnesium in Human Health and Disease provides the most
current research to support the potential benefits or lack thereof
for normal and high supplementation with magnesium. Animal model
research and early human trials are reviewed to document other
disease states such as hypertension, cholesterol level, type 2
diabetes and cardiovascular disease that would benefit from
increased magnesium.
