Magnesium
What is Magnesium and where is it found?
Magnesium is a mineral commonly found in the environment in minerals like magnesite and dolomite, and is also present in natural waters. Magnesium oxide, the heavy metal, can also be used in antacids and laxatives, animal feed, cosmetics and skin care products, and is used for electrical insulation such as oven gloves and flame retardants.
Why do I have an inflammatory reaction to Magnesium?
An inflammatory reaction to magnesium can occur due to hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction to magnesium supplements or magnesium compounds. This might be due to the body’s inability to properly metabolize or handle excess magnesium, leading to gastrointestinal distress or systemic inflammation.
What can I do about it?
If an inflammatory reaction occurs, reduce or eliminate sources of magnesium, particularly supplements.
