Magnesium (Mg)
- Target
- Mg
- Molecular classification
- Macromineral, Alkaline Earth Metal, Cofactor
01
Overview
Magnesium is an essential macromineral required by all living cells—vital both structurally (in bone) and functionally (as an enzymatic cofactor). Its adequate intake supports numerous physiological processes critical to health.
