Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for humans, playing a role in numerous bodily functions. For instance, it supports the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles—including the heart muscle—helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion, and promotes normal psychological function. Magnesium is also involved in calcium metabolism and bone mineralization, thereby contributing to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Dietary intake of magnesium is generally quite low, both in Finland and worldwide.
Another important mineral is potassium; like magnesium, it is an electrolyte—a substance that influences fluid balance. Potassium acts as a counter-agent to sodium, which is typically consumed in excessive amounts in Western countries in the form of sodium chloride (table salt). This is largely a matter of taste preference, as a healthy person would not actually need any added sodium; sufficient amounts are already obtained through food. Excess sodium raises blood pressure and increases the excretion of calcium in urine. Potassium has the opposite effect, thereby mitigating the harmful effects of salt.
Several health claims regarding potassium and magnesium have been approved in the EU. Both minerals, for example, support the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles. Additionally, potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.
