As a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions, magnesium fulfils various
intracellular physiological functions. Thus, imbalance in magnesium
status-primarily hypomagnesaemia as it is seen more often than
hypermagnesaemia-might result in unwanted neuromuscular, cardiac or nervous
disorders. Measuring total serum magnesium is a feasible and affordable way to
monitor changes in magnesium status, although it does not necessarily reflect
total body magnesium content. The following review focuses on the natural
occurrence of magnesium and its physiological function. The absorption and
excretion of magnesium as well as hypo- and hypermagnesaemia will be addressed.
