Magnesium deficiency is manifested by numerous changes outlined here:
* Alteration of potassium and calcium levels
* Spasmophilia
* Blockage of the parathyroid (do worse if absorbed vitamin D and calcioterapia)
* Tetany
* Spasms
* Tremor
* Seizures, neuromuscular irritability
* Sympathetic disorders, cardiovascular accidents
* Thrombosis
* Terrain favorable to cancer
* Fatigue
* Depression (more…)
PHYSIOLOGY
* Involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Glycolytic enzymes active process, to oxidize glucose (phosphorylation suburbs). Activates many enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, hexokinase, fructokinase, creatinine, phosphorylases, diphosphopyridine and phosphoglucomutase.
* Spoke in protein metabolism as a coenzyme in the synthesis that occurs in the cellular ribosome.
* Also taking part in the transfer of methyl groups (transmethylation) and the activation of formate. Cofactor in the carboxylation des reactions.
* Magnesium decreases central nervous system excitability. Participates with phosphorus in the reconstruction of nerve substance and its metabolism. Specific actions consist of magnesium inhibit the release of acetylcholine and counteract the oxidizing effect of potassium ions at the Endplate.
* Magnesium is the second cation of the intracellular environment has a fundamental participation in the electrolytic cell activity in the acid-base and redox phenomena. Play a key role in cellular respiration and cellular exchanges. (more…)
There is 25 gr. magnesium in the adult. The rate increases with altitude.
Magnesium is found primarily combined with calcium and phosphorus in the complex salts of bone (70%).
The rest is distributed in plasma (1.4 to 2.5 mg / ml), primarily in red blood cells. About 80% is ionized and diffusible. The rest is bound to serum proteins.
* The muscles contain more magnesium than calcium, in contrast to the blood.
* In cells, its concentration is 15 mEq / l (milliequivalents per liter).
* The level of magnesium in the cerebrospinal fluid is higher than in serum.
* Only 45% of ingested magnesium is absorbed, 55% is excreted in the feces. It is absorbed in the small intestine and to some extent, into the stomach. (more…)
Fluoride is found in the body: teeth, skin, thyroid, bone, plasma, lymph, and organs. Maintains bone enamel of teeth and bones and seems to speak against osteoporosis. Affects the eye shine.
Your metabolism is altered adversely by prolonged taking steroids and tranquilizers.
NEEDS
Needs daily intake has little meaning, since it depends on water content. No specific requirements.
Where you are in the drinking water found in varying amounts, usually from one part to 10 million. Water is the main source of supply.
Artificial water fluoridation should be one part per million.
Although fluoride in food represents a small part of the contribution, is found primarily in wheat, barley, rice, apricot, grape, potato, radish, tomato, asparagus, spinach, tea.

15 minerals are required in the daily diet, six of them in large quantities and nine are called micronutrients and trace minerals are.
Mineral Commodities
* Calcium (Ca)
* Phosphorus (P)
* Magnesium (Mg)
* Sodium (Na)
* Potassium (K)
* Chloride (Cl)
Evidence or trace minerals or micronutrients:
* Iron (Fe)
* Zinc (Zn)
* Iodine (Y)
* Copper (Cu)
* Manganese (Mn)
* Fluorine (F)
* Chromium (Cr)
* Selenium (Se)
* Molybdenum (Mo)
* Sulfur and cobalt, are also essential, but there are recommended amounts.

Vitamin B5 can prevent or used for the treatment of the following situations:
* Burning foot syndrome
* Adrenal insufficiency
* Cataracts
* Chronic fatigue and migraines
* Hiperlilipidemia (high blood lipid levels)
* Rheumatoid arthritis
* Heartburn
* Stress
Recommended daily doses of pantothenic acid
In the following table are set adequate intake of vitamin B5 according to the Department of Nutrition of the IOM (Institute of Medicine: Institute of Medicine) and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture: Department of Agriculture United States) for both infants, children and adults. mg / day: milligrams per day.
(more…)
Main sources
* Sources of animal origin of all foods containing vitamin animal kingdom. Anyway, those who are always having a higher ratio, such as the liver and viscera in general, white meats such as poultry and eggs.
* Power plant: yeast, broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms, whole grains and legumes.
* Supplements: through tablets or capsules in the form of pantethine and calcium pantothenate.
The following table states the amount of milligrams (mg) of vitamin B5 present per serving.
Deficiency or lack of pantothenic acid
With a varied and balanced diet that incorporates all food groups there is no lack or deficiency of pantothenic acid. It is seen in cases of severe malnutrition. (more…)
Brief Definition
Prior course as vitamin B5, pantothenic acid is necessary for the assimilation of carbohydrates, proteins and fats are essential to cell life.
It is present in most foods, although a greater proportion of animal food. Therefore vegans or total vegetarians are more likely to suffer lack.
His absence creates a decrease in cases of defense against infections, bleeding, weakness and dizziness.
Daily doses are required for children 5 mg and 10 mg for adults.
Extended Definition
Pantothenic acid is considered a water-soluble nutrient belonging to the complex of B vitamins was discovered in 1933 by Dr. Roger J. Williams from the growth of yeasts. But it was only in 1938 that Dr. Williams was able to isolate vitamin B5 liver cell.

Originally it was believed that there were 15 B-group vitamins, which with the passage of time and research, were shown as only six: Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6), folate (Folic acid – what some call B9) and cobalamin (B12).
These compounds are believed vitamins are: adenine (B4), pantothenic acid (B5), Choline (B7), Biotin (B8), carnitine (B11), orotic acid (B13), xanthopterin (B14) and B15 (pangamic acid)

There are many everyday consumer products that produce less absorption of vitamins to ingest them or eliminating them. Good or bad habits, it is useful to consider these reductions because most people are consuming at least one of these products.
Snuff
Consumption of snuff causes an impoverishment of the body in beta-carotene and vitamin C, and produce other problems and diseases of snuff consumption. Smoking a pack of 20 cigarettes per day doubles the daily requirement of vitamin C. There are several problems caused by the consumption of snuff, and those related to food, nutrition and oral health are explained in our health section.
Alcohol
This results in lack of B group vitamins and vitamin C. Alcohol has several effects on food, some positive and some negative, it is important to know. (more…)
