The aim of the study – to analyze the properties of magnesium as a microelement, its functions, mechanism of action, interaction with microelements-competitors, in the body of pregnant and non-pregnant women, to suggest ways for further research. Sources of literature on the role of the trace element magnesium and the association with calcium in physiological processes in the body of reproductive age women and pregnant women, the importance of its main functions and role in preventing the main pregnancy complications were analyzed. The proven role of magnesium in ensuring the production of steroid hormones was shown. Nevertheless, this effect remains in obstetrics and gynecology practice unrealized. Data from literature sources given in the article provide an opportunity for rationale for the magnesium use and analysis of its interaction with calcium during pregnancy.
