How to determine the amount of magnesium in the human body

Dear friends!

This article is focused on magnesium (Mg), the 12th element in the periodic table, essential for the vital activity of the body.

The discovery of magnesium resulted from the experiments of a Cornish chemist Humphry Davy in 1808 and was originally called “magnum”.

The role of magnesium in the vital activity of the body is truly immense. This trace element takes active part in more than 300 hundred enzymatic processes.

Magnesium is largely responsible for supporting all of the most important activities of the body, such as functioning of the cardiovascular system, kidneys, digestive organs, nerves and muscles, immunity, etc.    

Analyzing the requests made by the consumers regarding magnesium, we have detected the following variations:

• how to determine the amount of magnesium present in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of magnesium in the human body;

• how to check the level of magnesium in the body;

• how to raise the level of magnesium in the body;

• how to increase the level of magnesium in the human body;

• how can I learn the level of magnesium in the human body;

• how the level of magnesium in the body can be determined;

• how to replete magnesium in the body;

• how to find out the amount of magnesium present in the human body;

• how to determine the limit of magnesium for a child and an adult, etc.

Speaking of the pathologies observed in the bioelemental status of people in Russia, the lack of magnesium shares the leading position with the lack of iodine, calcium and zinc, thus  it is essential for people of all ages to monitor this trace element in their bodies.

It is especially crucial for women during breastfeeding or pregnancy, for elderly people and children during the time of their active growth.

The lack of magnesium in the body manifests itself through the following symptoms:

• tachycardia, hemolytic anemia, hypotension

• anxiety, fear, confusion, depression

• muscle weakness, hand tremor

• low body temperature, etc.

Monitoring the proper level of magnesium is especially important for children, starting from the very infancy. It is also necessary to keep its required level in the body in order for all systems of vital activity to grow and develop properly.

The  lack of magnesium in the childhood results in increased intracranial pressure, signs of hyperactivity, heart disease, vascular spasms, immunodeficiency and other health problems.

Answering  the question of "how to determine the amount of magnesium in the human body?" we should mention testing blood and urine with the method of colorimetry, but we would also advise to focus on the method, providing the most accurate and valuable information on the quantitative content of magnesium in biological samples, i.e. the method of mass spectrometry or coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

The method of spectral analysis  will provide you with data on magnesium, present in your body, along with the complete information on the other 32 trace elements, which would allow you to get the full picture of the bioelemental  status of your body, have foreknowledge of its weak points and the methods aimed at correcting them.

Doctors have long revealed the fact that absolutely all people have some deviations in their vitamin-mineral balance, determined by genetics, region, they live in, along with the number of other factors. Keeping in mind these unfavorable tendencies, patients can keep their normal elemental status with timely and accurately prescribed nutritional supplements, following the old saying of “guard your health while you are young  for the sake of your future.”

Answering the question of “how to check the level of magnesium in the body?” we have established that spectral analysis is not just the most innovative and accurate method used for studying magnesium, present in the body. It also provides additional data on the other trace elements, since the information on magnesium only is not sufficient for the correct prescribing of drug therapy aimed at correcting its level.

The composition of the trace elements in the human body is comparable to their complex quantitative dependence on each other. Low calcium gives way to accumulation of strontium, lack of  magnesium reduces the ability of the body to resist the activity of neurotoxic metals, allowing lead, nickel and aluminum to accumulate.

As you might see, our project is fully devoted to the spectral analysis. We provide the services of medical research on the bases of the only accredited elemental analysis laboratory in Russia located in the Clinic of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in St. Petersburg.

You will get the detailed  information on the method of coupled plasma mass spectrometry in this section.

Our specialists will answer all your questions on spectral analysis  and, if you decide to do the test, we will be happy to provide you our services.

Yours faithfully, 33 Elementa.Ru
