Magnesium
The concentration of magnesium in the body is 250 mg/kg.
The daily requirement is 300 -400 mg. In a normal diet, the daily intake is 300-500 mg.
As a constituent and activator of many enzymes, particularly those associated with the conversion of energy rich phosphate compounds, and as a stabilizer of plasma membranes, intracellular membranes and nucleic acids, magnesium is a life supporting element.
Because of its indispensable role in bloody metabolism, magnesium deficiency causes serious disorders.
