Abstract

Topicality. Despite the generally accepted importance of magnesium, its bioavailability is usually not studied and its content is not monitored in patients, so magnesium is called a “forgotten cation”. In addition, serum magnesium levels usually do not reflect magnesium levels in different parts of the body. Therefore, a normal level of magnesium in the blood serum does not exclude magnesium deficiency. Hypomagnesemia and / or chronic magnesium deficiency can lead to disorders in almost every organ, contributing to or exacerbating pathological consequences and causing potentially fatal complications. The goal of the work is to justify the need to determine and correct magnesium deficiency as an essential macronutrient and stress-limiting factor. Materials and methods. Bibliometric, analytical. Research results. Analysis of the importance of magnesium for maintaining good health has shown that it is an essential metabolite, macronutrient, and a significant influence factor on various biochemical processes and physiological functions. The dissemination of dietary strategies that meet the recommended daily intake of magnesium and the development of reliable and minimally invasive methods for rapid detection of magnesium deficiency or for accurate monitoring of the effectiveness of its supplements are recognized as important. Approximately 60% of adults have been shown to have insufficient dietary magnesium intake, and subclinical magnesium deficiency is a widespread disease in the western population. The preventive role of magnesium in relation to social pathologies and the need for magnesium supplementation in many diseases are substantiated. The results of their own research allowed us to establish that as of 2021 (that is, before the war), people of working age received a third of the recommended norm of magnesium. Since the war has greatly aggravated this problem as a result of stress and other social problems, the need to identify and correct magnesium deficiency with the inclusion of this component in the programs of medical, physical and psychological rehabilitation of persons affected during the war is justified. Conclusion. The need to determine and correct magnesium deficiency should be considered reasonable.
