Magnesium: Der Schlüssel zur Langlebigkeit

Zusammenfassung

Als pathogene Hauptfaktoren für Alterung und damit einhergehende Erkrankungen gelten oxidativer Stress mit Entzündungen und mitochondriale Dysfunktion. Die Hallmarks of Aging stehen unter dem Einfluss des endogenen Magnesiumstatus. Der Mineralstoff spielt eine wichtige Rolle in der Regulation von oxidativem Stress, Inflammation, Endothelfunktion, Telomerstruktur und mitochondrialer Funktion. Magnesiummangel beschleunigt die endotheliale und zelluläre Seneszenz. Bei der Supplementierung von Magnesium als Senolytikum ist Magnesiumtaurat zu bevorzugen.

Schlüsselwörter
