Magnesium & nutrition
You should eat food with a high magnesium content every day.
A healthy lifestyle is a key part of everyday life for many: people care about their body and their nutrition. This includes ensuring an adequate intake of the vital mineral magnesium.
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) as well as the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB)* recommend that adults should take between 300 mg and 400 mg of magnesium a day, depending on their age and gender. An unbalanced diet (e.g. when dieting, fast food) and the loss of magnesium through industrial processing and food preparation can also result in magnesium deficiency, as can stress and physical activity (sport).
Magnesium-rich food
Magnesium is naturally present in food. There is 36 mg of magnesium in 100g of bananas, for instance. So you would have to eat quite a lot of bananas to reach the target of 300 mg of magnesium a day. If the magnesium requirement is increased, it will be even more difficult.
Magnesium – part of your daily diet
Adequate intake of the vital mineral magnesium requires a healthy and balanced diet. If this proves impossible at certain stages of life, we recommend supplementing your diet with a high-quality product.
