Magnesium is a multipurpose mineral that is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions.
It plays an important physiological role, particularly in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles.
Magnesium is involved in the synthesis of ATP, DNA, and RNA, mitochondrial health, neurotransmission, and nitric oxide metabolism.
It is involved in the maintenance of normal muscle and nerve function, neurotransmitters, bone strength, heart rhythm, and the immune system.
