Magnesium supplementation

Magnesium ions are important cations in human cells, involved in protein synthesis and muscle contraction. More than 300 enzymes require magnesium ions to function, including all enzymes that utilize or synthesize ATP, or enzymes that use other nucleotides to synthesize DNA and RNA. Modern foods are mostly processed and reconstructed, which can easily lead to the loss of magnesium ions. Insufficient magnesium ion intake will increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, metabolic syndrome, migraines, osteoporosis and other problems.
