Magnesium is an inorganic element that activates more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It is the fourth most abundant metal in the human body with a key role in a number of important bodily processes.

About 69% of magnesium ions are stored in the bones. The rest participates in the intermediate metabolism, with about 70% being in free form, while the remaining 30% is bound to proteins (mainly albumin), citrate ions, phosphate ions and other substances that form complexes. 

Magnesium is a cofactor of many enzyme systems. Thus, all adenosine triphosphate (ATP) -dependent enzyme reactions require magnesium as a cofactor of the adenosine and magnesium triphosphate complex. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a primary biochemical, which is found in all aerobic and non-aerobic organisms (plant and animal) and acts as a carrier of chemical energy. ATP molecules have typically been termed the energy currency in intracellular energy transfers from one biochemical molecule to another.

In addition, magnesium maintains electrolyte levels in balance, facilitates the absorption of calcium, helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, the contraction of both skeletal muscle and smooth muscle, and plays a key role in regulating sleep.

Numerous studies have shown that magnesium deficiency is associated with heart disorders such as untreated ventricular arrhythmias, increased digoxin sensitivity, and coronary artery spasms. Additional symptoms include neuromuscular and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Magnesium citrate is more easily and better absorbed than other forms of magnesium, and has a particularly beneficial effect on the elderly and people with low stomach acidity.
