General Description
Magnesium, one of the most abundant trace metals in living organisms, contributes to a variety of biological functions including ATP and nucleic acid processing, energy metabolism, and enzymatic function. Magnesium forms complexes with multiple molecules such as phospholipids and ATP. Low serum levels of magnesium have been associated with metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus type 2, and hypertension, as well as, increased smooth muscle and platelet reactivity.
