Magnesium: The Essential Nutrient for Optimal Health

Magnesium plays a crucial role in overall health as a cofactor for approximately 300 enzymes, integral for numerous bodily functions.

Daily requirements vary: adult women need 310-320 milligrams, increasing to 360 milligrams during pregnancy, while adult men require 400-420 milligrams. Physically active individuals, including athletes and those using saunas, may need an additional 10-20% of the recommended intake to compensate for losses through sweat and urine.
