Magnesium is a shiny gray earth metal with the atomic number of 12. It is the eleventh most abundant element found in the body. Magnesium is essential for the proper function of cells and over 300 enzyme systems.
Magnesium is an intracellular cation, meaning large quantities are found in tissue, cells, and organs rather than in the blood. This makes sense because cells need magnesium to function properly.
Magnesium is extremely important for the heart including a normal rhythm and regulating blood pressure. It is an essential ingredient for the production of energy for the body. The regulation of nerve function, blood sugar control and muscle contractions are dependent on magnesium. Magnesium contributes to bone development and maintenance.
