Magnesium is a co factor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.
Magnesium is required for energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis. Magnesium deficiency leads to a breakdown in many of these basic functions which is responsible for the development of different types of diseases, including cancer. This mineral is essential in RNA and DNA synthesis, as well as DNA replication and repair. It also facilitates nerve and muscle functions, balances hormones, improves sleep cycles, regulates inflammation, and synthesizes iodine and Vitamins C.
