Magnesium needed for cellular and food metabolism

Magnesium is deeply and intrinsically woven into cellular metabolism:

•   Mg²⁺ -dependent enzymes appear in virtually every metabolic pathway

•   Specific binding of Mg²⁺to biological membranes is frequently observed

•   Mg²⁺ is used as a signaling molecule

•   Much of nucleic acid biochemistry requires Mg^{2+.    I}ncluding all reactions which require release of energy from ATP

Magnesium needed to metabolize food

Mg is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids, and many other biologically active nutrients and substances.    Including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, sodium, lead, cadmium, hydrochloric acid (HCl), ACETYLCHOLINE, and NITRIC OXIDE (NO).

Mg transports many substances (E.g. minerals, mineral electrolytes, hormones, and neurotransmitters) into and out of cell.   Via its role in maintaining the cell “battery” level
