What is magnesium?

Magnesium is a mineral important for many of the body's functions. It occurs naturally in the body and in many foods, but sometimes supplementation may be necessary to ensure adequate intake. Magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzymatic processes, including energy production and muscle and nerve function. As a mineral, magnesium is one of the fundamental building blocks of the body and helps maintain normal function in various systems.
