Overview of Magnesium Nutrition

  • Chapter
New Perspectives in Magnesium Research

Abstract

Magnesium plays a very important role in wide-range biochemical metabolism, especially fundamental cellular reactions. It is explained that magnesium is essential ion for cofactors of over 300 enzyme systems, for example, as a part of the magnesium—adenosine triphosphate (Mg-ATP) complex or as an enzyme activator in experimental and clinical observations.
