Magnesium is an important mineral that’s involved with a plethora of physiological and cellular activities within the body and is considered as important for bone health as calcium. More than half of the magnesium in the body is deposited in the bone with the remaining found in the muscles and soft tissues.
Magnesium is the second most abundant ion found within our cells and the fourth most common mineral in the human body. But, your body does not produce magnesium so it’s important to consume it through natural supplementation or food sources.
