There are six possible points of attachment in a Mg molecule. Thus it is able to bind other substances like an octopus, even those that need more than one binding site. In this way reagibility of the partners becomes more and more limited – a possible snowball effect of stabilisation may ensue. Moreover, binding of so called free radicals stabilizes cell metabolism. On the other hand they may even contribute to restore cell stability in unusual settings more quickly. Free radicals increase reagibility of the cell, but are „dangerous“ on the other hand because they may disturb homeostasis. A more stable metabolism reduces of tissues for metabolic overload (e.g. heart), however, sensibilityof tissues becomes lower, which on the other hand may be  vorteilhaft concerning the widespread hypersensitivity. Thus calming effects of Mg ensue, whereby Mg/Ca proportion plays an important role. In case that Mg – as Ca antagonist – gains at least temporary supremacy, it prohibits many kinds of cramps, but also curbs velocity of adaptation.

It seems, that Mg dynamics follows a tsunami – like pattern, increase – decrease. If therefore deeper fall goes along with highe previous increase. Is therefore increase and decrease i.a. connected with the time after triggering of changes or (also) with triggering intensity? Meaning, that delta Mg depends upon basal values, which in their turn influence trigger intensity. Thus, both trauma intensity and Mg basal values influence Mg changes.
