What Is Magnesium?

Magnesium is required in more than 300 biochemical reactions throughout the body. It plays a role in energy generation, nerve impulse transmission, and muscle function. When dietary intake falls short, a daily oral magnesium supplement can contribute to ensuring the body operates at its best.

Roles in the Body

Magnesium is a vital mineral that is needed for hundreds of different functions in the human body. Sufficient intake helps support bone, muscle, and nerve health.

Magnesium Deficiency

More than one in three Australians adults don’t get enough magnesium. We can get magnesium from dietary sources or top up levels with supplements when dietary intake is inadequate.

Magnesium Types

Magnesium supplements come in different forms with different benefits. For example, magnesium citrate is well absorbed and supports muscle health. Magnesium glycinate supports a healthy stress response in the body and can help support sleep health. 

What is Magnesium Good For?

Magnesium may help alleviate mild muscle cramps and stiffness in cases of inadequate dietary intake. Additionally, it plays a vital role in supporting healthy bones, maintaining muscle and nerve function, promoting cardiovascular health, and supporting energy production. Magnesium is integral for maintaining a well-balanced and thriving body, impacting everything from muscle contractions to heart rhythm.
