The preparation of magnesium. Magnesium is a macroelement, it is necessary to provide many energy processes, participates in the exchange of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Magnesium takes part in the process of neuromuscular excitation, inhibiting neuromuscular transmission. Of particular interest is magnesium as a natural physiological calcium antagonist. Magnesium controls the normal functioning of myocardial cells; participates in the regulation of contractile function of the myocardium.In stressful situations, an increased amount of free ionized magnesium is excreted, and therefore, an additional amount of magnesium contributes to an increase in resistance to stress.
Magnesium deficiency leads to neuromuscular disorders (motor and sensory hyperexcitability, convulsions, paresthesia), psychological changes (depression, confusion and hallucinations), cardio - vascular disease (ventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia, increased sensitivity to cardiac glycosides). Deficiency of magnesium during pregnancy increases the likelihood of toxicosis and premature birth. The salts of orotic acid participate in the process of metabolism. In addition, orotic acid salts are necessary for fixing magnesium on ATP in the cell and manifesting its action.
