Abstract:

Objective: To assess magnesium enteral absorption from a magnesium-rich mineral water.

Design: Experimental study.

Setting: Department of Nuclear Medicine, Brugmann Hospital, Brussels, Belgium.

Subjects: Ten healthy male volunteers in the age range 25–42 y.

Intervention: Each subject completed two sessions in a random order. At one session, they received an oral load of 300 ml of water (containing 1.2 mmol Mg), traced with ²⁸Mg, and at the other session they received an intravenous injection of ²⁸Mg, in order to take into account the metabolism of endogenous magnesium. The dietary consumption was further noted on a weekly diary.

Results: The mean bioavailability was 59.1% (s.d.±13.6). Magnesium absorption and age were significantly inversely correlated (r=-0.68, P=0.035).

Conclusion: Magnesium-rich mineral water is a reliable source of magnesium. Our observation of decreased magnesium absorption with age deserves further investigations.

Sponsorship: The study was sponsored by SEV, Bourg la Reine, France.
