Magnesium Requirement and Affecting Factors

Abstract

We performed 11 balance studies to learn the estimated average requirement (EAR) of magnesium (Mg). Magnesium intake was not correlated with Mg balance when all data was used (n = 109). However, Mg intake was correlated with calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) balances. During the analysis, we found a correlation between sodium intake and Ca and Mg balances. After excluding the data of the highest sodium (Na) intake study, Mg intake turned out to be correlated with Mg balance.
