Magnesium

Unit: mmol/L

What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a mineral your muscles, nerves, sleep and energy all lean on. It's a quiet helper in hundreds of everyday processes in your body. A healthy value supports relaxed muscles, restful sleep and even energy.

What moves this value?

Few green vegetables, wholegrains and nuts, a lot of stress or alcohol can lower the value.

More green vegetables, nuts, legumes and wholegrains replenish this gradually; a supplement can help. Discuss the right amount with your doctor.

The colour zones are personal: they depend on age, sex, risk and history, and appear in the patient's own report.

Insights to discuss with the patient, not a diagnostic instrument.
