Magnesium is an essential cation for more than 300 enzymes in our body. Among them, it is a cofactor for ATP metabolism. Diverse clinical manifestations have been reported in conjunction with Mg++ deficiencies, including sudden death, accelerated atherosclerosis, asthma, neurologic and even psychiatric clinical entities. Limited previous studies with Mg++ supplementation have shown to be of a large preventive advantages. We summarize the current literature concerning Mg++ supplementation and recommend to do so on national basis adding magnesium to the water supplies of large areas.
镁是人体中300多种酶所必需的阳离子。其中，它是ATP代谢的辅助因子。与镁缺乏相关的各种临床表现已有报道，包括猝死、动脉粥样硬化加速、哮喘、神经甚至精神方面的临床病症。先前关于补充镁的有限研究已显示出很大的预防优势。我们总结了当前关于补充镁的文献，并建议在全国范围内将镁添加到大面积的供水系统中。
