Part of the population consumes less magnesium than is recommended”, writes the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), in which they mainly refer to adolescents and the elderly. At the same time, experts, such as the ones in this article, warn that the recommended amount is very low already. According to Italian Professor Mario Barbagallo, the fact that we are receiving so little magnesium is not good news. His research shows that a magnesium deficiency can accelerate the aging process. Conversely, a sufficient amount of magnesium contributes to the prevention of low-grade inflammation, which is a phenomenon attacking the good intentions of anyone who wants to age healthily.
In a scientific article significantly titled “Magnesium and aging”, Barbagallo writes with the typical tone of a nuanced, yet enthusiastic researcher.

He states that an optimal magnesium level “could contribute to the prevention of, or otherwise considerably delay, some age-related diseases”. For those who wonder what kind of diseases to think of, the French doctor and magnesium expert Dr. Marianne Mousain-Bosc writes about one example in her book Magnesium, the solution: “Alzheimer’s patients almost always show a magnesium deficiency”.
