Every cell in your body contains magnesium and needs it to function. One of magnesium's main roles is acting as a cofactor or "helper molecule" in the biochemical reactions continuously performed by enzymes.⁠

⁠

In fact, it’s involved in more than 600 reactions in your body, including:⁠

⁠

-Energy creation: Helps convert food into energy.⁠

-Protein formation: Helps create new proteins from amino acids.⁠

-Gene maintenance: Helps create and repair DNA and RNA.⁠

-Muscle movements: Is part of the contraction and relaxation of muscles.⁠

-Nervous system regulation: Helps regulate neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout your brain and nervous system.⁠
