Magnesium's Vital Role in Brain Function

Magnesium is a vital coenzyme essential for various biochemical processes in the brain, acting as a key factor for brain-specific enzymes like ATPases, crucial for energy production in cells. It is a cofactor for enzymes such as sodium-potassium ATPase and calcium ATPase, crucial for maintaining neuronal function by establishing an electrochemical gradient. Additionally, magnesium is essential for enzymes involved in creatine metabolism, facilitating the production of ATP, the energy currency of cells.
