Univ.-Prof. em. Dr. Ludwig Spätling looks back on a decades-long career in gynecology. After early career stages in Marburg and Zurich, he was appointed Associate Professor at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ruhr University Bochum. A few years later, he took over as head of the Department of Gynecology at Fulda Hospital. His research focused on the diagnosis and treatment of threatened preterm birth, during which he developed several widely used methods — including magnesium supplementation during pregnancy. Furthermore, he was committed to sharing knowledge beyond academic teaching and, in 2000, founded the German Family Foundation to support couples and young parents.
An optimal supply of minerals like magnesium is essential for health and well-being – yet numerous studies show that many of us have some form of magnesium deficiency. But what are the factors that may indicate a magnesium shortfall? How can you optimise your own magnesium supply? And what things should you bear in mind when taking supplements? We put these questions to Prof. Emer. Ludwig Spätling, whose own research focus is gynaecology, emphasised the importance of magnesium for a smooth pregnancy with minimal risk of complications, among other things, in an interview.
