Magnesium is an important element needed by the human body and plays an important role in regulating neuromuscular operation and blood sugar conversion, so many foods need to add a small amount of magnesium oxide to supplement magnesium. The total magnesium content of a normal adult body is about 25g, of which 60%-65% exists in bones and teeth, and 27% is distributed in soft tissues.
Magnesium is mainly distributed in the cells, and the magnesium in the extracellular fluid does not exceed 1%. As an activator of various enzymes, magnesium participates in the reactions of more than 300 enzymes. Magnesium can form a complex with many important components in the cell, such as adenocarpine triphosphate, to activate the enzyme system, or directly act as an enzyme activator to activate the enzyme system.
Magnesium oxide can be used as an anti-caking agent and antacid in the field of sugar products such as wheat flour, milk powder chocolate, cocoa powder, grape powder, and powdered sugar.
The efficacy of magnesium oxide in treating stomach diseases is significantly stronger than that of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). It not only has a strong and slow and lasting effect on neutralizing gastric acid, but also can treat gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer disease because no carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction. .
Magnesium Oxide can be used to increase the levels of Magnesium in our body. Many people also use magnesium oxide as an antacid and laxative to relieve constipation and upset stomachs from excess stomach acid. According to the survey, the daily intake of magnesium for adults in my country is 356.8mg+/-159.0mg, combined with foreign data, the Chinese Nutrition Society proposes an adult magnesium intake (AI) of 350mg/day.
