Magnesium is among the most important minerals essential to our wellbeing. It participates in more than 300 enzymatic reactions which affect all aspects of metabolic function. Its many tasks include intestinal absorption and skeletal storage and release of calcium, along with nervous-system function.
It helps to maintain the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients; in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth; in tissue formation; to maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle’s; and to maintain normal electrolyte balance.
Unfortunately, even the foods that are traditionally good sources of magnesium are often grown in magnesium-deficient soil. Supplementation can improve a wide range of health concerns, ranging from musculoskeletal health to nervous system support.
