Magnesium is an inorganic element that activates more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It is the fourth human quantity of human body with a key role in a number of important bodily processes.

About 69% of magnesium ions are stored in the bones. The remaining percentage is involved in the intermediate metabolism, with approximately 70% being in free form, while the remaining 30% is bound to proteins (mainly albumin), citrate, phosphate and other complexing substances.

Magnesium is a cofactor of many enzyme systems. Thus, all enzyme-dependent adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules require magnesium as a cofactor of adenosine and magnesium triphosphate complex. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a primary biochemical substance found in all aerobic and non-organisms (plant and animal) and acts as a chemical carrier. ATP molecules are typically named as an energy currency unit in intracellular energy transfers from one biochemical molecule to another.

In addition, magnesium maintains electrolyte levels in balance, facilitates the absorption of calcium, helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, contraction both skeletal and smooth muscle, and plays a key role in sleep regulation.

Numerous studies have shown that magnesium deficiency is associated with cardiac disorders such as ventricular arrhythmias not treated with conventional therapy, increased digoxin susceptibility, and coronary artery spasm. Additional symptoms include neuromuscular and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Magnesium citrate (magnesium citrate) is absorbed more easily and better than other magnesium forms, and has a particularly beneficial effect on the elderly and those with low stomach acidity.
