Up to 90% of the population are deficient in magnesium, one of the most important nutrients for optimal function. Magnesium, which is present in all tissues and organs in the body, has been found to be critical in over 325 known biochemical reactions in the body. Some of the functions of Magnesium include:
The metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids (especially in the metabolism of cholesterol) and proteins (particularly in the synthesis of cellular proteins);
The synthesis of numerous neurotransmitters including serotonin and dopamine and in hormones such as insulin, thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA;
The health of the cardiovascular system, for keeping teeth and bones strong, and in the absorption of many other minerals in the body;
It is indispensable to the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary source of cellular energy.
Magnesium is also a powerful muscle relaxant and proper magnesium levels help prevent leg cramps, migraines and fatigue. Magnesium deficiency can cause calcium to be lost in the urine, and/or deposited in the kidneys, arteries and joints.
