Researching improvement of magnesium balance

Magnesium occurs in various compounds in nature. This mineral plays a major role in our energy balance and in more than 325 enzymatic processes. In a similar way as the human body uses water, it naturally consumes magnesium every day while it does not have a system for buffering this material.

The therapeutic effect of magnesium chloride in skin disorders such as psoriasis has been known for many years. There is a growing realisation that today's food contains too little magnesium and that this must be complemented, as many medical complaints appear to be connected with magnesium deficiency.
