Magnesium is an essential mineral for the human body. It is needed for protein, bone, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, blood clotting and forming adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The production and use of insulin also requires magnesium

• Magnesium is a mineral essential to human health. It is second to calcium in concentration present in the body with 60% of that in the bones, 26% in the muscle and rest in soft tissues such as the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. Foods rich in magnesium are legumes, seeds, nuts, whole grains, tofu and leafy green vegetables. Food processing removes much of the magnesium from foods and thus many Americans who eat a diet high in refined foods are deficient in magnesium.
• Vitamins and minerals necessary for proper enzymatic action, connective tissue formation and maintenance in joints. Vitamin C and Zinc also help the body’s natural antioxidant response to free radicals - a reduction in toxins and free radicals helps support the cell membranes, health and integrity of joints and tissues. Magnesium helps nerve and muscle functions, as well as helping the body absorb calcium which is necessary for better bone strength
• An essential mineral found in bones, teeth, and red blood cells, magnesium activates many enzyme systems (such as those involved in protein digestion and energy production); affects calcium metabolism; and relaxes nerve impulses and muscle contractions.
