What is Magnesium and what does it do?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that accounts for about 0.05% of the
body’s total weight. Nearly 70% of the body’s supply is located in the
bones, together with calcium and phosphorus, while 30% is found in
cellular fluids and some soft tissue. Some 30%-40% of ingested dietary
magnesium is absorbed, while the rest is excreted in the faeces.
Magnesium is involved in many essential metabolic processes, including
the release of energy from glucose, synthesis of protein and nucleic
acids, the formation of urea, vascular tone, muscle impulse transmission,
electrical stability of the cells, neurotransmission and activity. Most is
found inside the cell, where it activates enzymes necessary for the
metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids. It also regulates the
acid/alkali balance in the body.
Magnesium helps promote the absorption and metabolism of other
minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. It also
helps utilise the B complex vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E in the
body. It aids in bone growth and is necessary for proper functioning of
muscles.

Magnesium Citrate is the gentlest and most effective of the inorganic
mineral forms of magnesium. As a citrate it is readily absorbed into the
blood stream via the citric acid cycle.
