Magnesium is a mineral that is crucial for body functions, and sadly this remains unknown or rather ignorant. It plays an important role in assisting various chemical reactions in the body such as building proteins and strong bones, and regulating blood sugar, blood pressure, and maintaining normal muscle and nerve functions. It also helps in supporting a strong healthy immune system. Magnesium deficiency can lead to health problems including high blood pressure and heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.
