Magnesium (MG)
What is it?
Magnesium is an essential mineral for human nutrition, necessary for a series of steps during the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and proteins.Several enzymes that participate in the synthesis of lipids and carbohydrates need magnesium for their activity; likewise, Glutathione, the most important antioxidant in the body, requires magnesium for its synthesis.
Being necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, there is ongoing research on the role of magnesium in the prevention and management of disorders such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
Diets high in protein, calcium, or vitamin D will increase the need for magnesium.
