Inside the book
Read the opening.
An original excerpt from the foreword of the English edition.
If you want to buy magnesium, you first face a series of choices. Citrate or glycinate. A single compound or several in one capsule. Tablet, powder or spray. Then there are numbers that look unambiguous but mean different things. Sometimes the front of the package shows a large amount while the nutrition table gives a much smaller value. Another product displays 100 percent of the reference value. Which of these details actually helps you decide?
This book starts before the product comparison. First, we look at what magnesium does in the body and how you can sensibly assess your own intake and magnesium status. Understanding these basics makes it easier to judge whether an advertising claim is relevant to your personal question at all.
Perhaps you are looking into magnesium because a calf cramp occasionally wakes you. Perhaps you are looking for a way to settle down more easily in the evening. Or perhaps you simply want to know whether your diet provides enough. These are different starting points. Each deserves its own answer.
