The Importance of Magnesium
Magnesium plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including energy production, muscle function, and stress management. It's involved in stabilizing ATP, which is the cellular energy currency, and supports around 300 enzyme processes essential for health. Many individuals do not meet the recommended daily intake of 400 to 420 milligrams of elemental magnesium, particularly in places with processed diets. This deficiency can lead to symptoms such as cognitive decline, muscle cramps, and increased stress levels, highlighting the need for proper magnesium supplementation.
