Magnesium plays an important role in the protein and DNA synthesis. It is thus involved in the formation and repair of the genetic material and gene regulation.
magnesium and energy metabolism
to energy production and energy storage is needed magnesium. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the mitochondria, our “cellular power plants” along with the magnesium ion, forms a stable complex. Low magnesium concentration leads to the slowing down of the energy supply. Without magnesium there was no cellular respiration and our cells would die sooner.
