Magnesium is a crucial mineral supporting over 300 enzyme systems in the body, including muscle function, energy production, and heart rhythm. Despite its importance, many in the U.S. are deficient due to diet, chronic illness, or other factors. Magnesium aids DNA formation, calcium transport, and blood pressure regulation, stored mainly in bones and tissues. Recommended daily intake is 400-420 mg for men and 310-320 mg for women, with higher needs during pregnancy. Deficiency symptoms range from muscle cramps to severe issues like heart attacks and mental health disorders
