Description

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. About half of it is found in the bones while the other half is predominantly found in the cells, tissues and organs. It is responsible for over 300 biochemical responses in the human body and fuels digestive enzymes, helping the body effectively utilize carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Magnesium ions (charged magnesium atoms) play a key role in energy metabolism, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, immune function, bone and tooth formation, and are particularly important to heart and circulatory health.† Research has shown many American diets to be deficient in magnesium.†
