Description:
Magnesium gluconate is a compound with formula MgC12H22O14. It is the magnesium salt of gluconic acid.
There are data on the pharmacological properties of magnesium gluconate. Gluconic acid is the initial substrate for the reactions of pentose phosphate path of oxidation of glucose, so it was suggested that it may affect the energy metabolism of mitochondria. In Ukraine, magnesium gluconate, together with potassium gluconate in the drug 'Rhythmocor' is used to treat heart disease. Pilot studies have shown efficacy in various cardiac arrhythmia. There is no single explanation, whether these effects with the influence of gluconic acid on the metabolism of the heart, or the influence of magnesium and potassium do not. There is evidence that magnesium gluconate improves physical performance. This is possible due to the fact that structural gluconic acid is a component of pangamic acid, previously widely used in sports.
