What role does Magnesium play in Abnehmen?

Magnesium plays a supportive but not central role in weight loss. It is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and energy production. A deficiency can impair insulin sensitivity and increase sugar cravings, potentially hindering weight loss. Observational studies show an association between low magnesium intake and higher BMI, but robust randomized controlled trials demonstrating direct weight loss effects are lacking. The evidence is therefore moderate, based mainly on mechanistic and epidemiological data. Supplementation may be beneficial if a deficiency is confirmed, but without a calorie deficit and exercise, no significant effect is expected. High doses (over 350 mg/day as supplement) can cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Magnesium is not a miracle cure but a component of a healthy metabolism.
