Magnesium is an important mineral involved in over three hundred biochemical processes in the human body.
Magnesium is involved in muscle and nerve function, maintaining proper cardiac rhythm, the formation of bone, in energy metabolism, and protein synthesis.
Magnesium is aborbed through the small intestine. Blood levels are controlled by excreting excess magnesium through the kidneys.
Although generally considered safe, consult your physcian before beginning a regimen of magnesium supplementation. Special caution should be taken by patients with compromised renal function.
