Magnesium

Magnesium is the preponderant mineral both on the earth's surface and in the oceans. It also makes up a large part of the human body.
It is a particularly interesting substance for public health because it is inexpensive, freely available, easy to handle, has a low toxicity risk and is useful in numerous clinical situations.
The first part of this book takes a look at commonly agreed current knowledge of magnesium biochemistry and highlights the biological consequences that make it easier to understand how and why it can be used in prophylaxis and therapy.
The second part deals with the clinical aspects of magnesium and examines the metabolic disturbances observed in the most widespread pathologies.
Finally, a comprehensive chapter is devoted to the prescription of magnesium supplements and the related indications for use.
