PURPOSE:To obtain a magnesium replenishing material having excellent magnesium absorbability and availability in vivo and capable of preventing and treating various diseases caused by the insufficient intake of magnesium. CONSTITUTION:This magnesium replenishing material, contains (A) magnesium source such as magnesium carbonate or magnesium chloride as a food additive or magnesium-rich seaweed, seed or rice sugar as natural magnesium source and (B) at least one kind of substance selected from scarcely digestible oligosaccharide, scarcely digestible sugar alcohol and dietary fiber at a weight ratio (magnesium in the component A/the component B) of 10-400. The component B is assimilable by enteric bacteria. The scarcely digestible oligosaccharide is e.g. fructooligosaccharide, beet oligosaccharide and lactooligosaccharide, the scarcely digestible sugar alcohol is e.g. maltitol, sorbitol and lactulose and the dietary fiber is e.g. alginic acid, its salt and pectin. |
