Magnesium is an essential
mineral for the human body. It
is needed for protein, bone,
and fatty acid formation,
making new cells, activating B
vitamins, relaxing muscles,
blood clotting and forming
adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The production and use of
insulin also requires
magnesium
- Magnesium is a mineral
essential to human health.
It is second to calcium in
concentration present in
the body with 60% of that
in the bones, 26% in the
muscle and rest in soft
tissues such as the brain,
heart, liver and kidneys.
Foods rich in magnesium are
legumes, seeds, nuts, whole
grains, tofu and leafy
green vegetables. Food
processing removes much of
the magnesium from foods
and thus many Americans who
eat a diet high in refined
foods are deficient in
magnesium.

Vitamins and minerals
necessary for proper
enzymatic action,
connective tissue formation
and maintenance in joints.
Vitamin C and Zinc also
help the body’s natural
antioxidant response to
free radicals - a reduction
in toxins and free radicals
helps support the cell
membranes, health and
integrity of joints and
tissues. Magnesium helps
nerve and muscle functions,
as well as helping the body
absorb calcium which is
necessary for better bone
strength
-
An essential mineral
found in bones, teeth,
and red blood cells,
magnesium activates
many enzyme systems
(such as those involved
in protein digestion
and energy production);
affects calcium
metabolism; and relaxes
nerve impulses and
muscle
contractions.
