Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. More than half of the magnesium in our body is stored in bones, and the remaining in various tissues throughout the body. The mineral plays a major role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the human body and its many functions include building proteins and strong bones, regulating blood sugar, blood pressure, and muscle and nerve functions and supporting the immune system. Magnesium also acts an electrical conductor that contracts muscles and makes the heart beat steadily and also plays a critical role in brain function and mood.
