Involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in your bod

Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, maintains a healthy immune system, keeps the heartbeat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps in the regulation of blood glucose levels.

Magnesium is found in bone for around 60% of your body's magnesium, while the rest is found in muscles, soft tissues, and fluids, including blood. One of its most important functions is to act as a cofactor, a helper molecule, in the biochemical activities that enzymes perform on a regular basis. It has a role in over 600 bodily responses, including:

• Energy creation: converting food into energy
• Protein formation: creating new proteins from amino acids
• Gene maintenance: helping create and repair DNA and RNA
• Muscle movements: aiding in muscle contraction and relaxation
• Nervous system regulation: regulating neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout your brain and nervous system.
