What magnesium does in the body

According to MedlinePlus, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, magnesium is an essential mineral for human nutrition and is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Its normal roles include:

• It helps maintain normal nerve and muscle function.
• It keeps the heartbeat steady.
• It helps bones remain strong.
• It aids in the production of energy and protein.

This describes what the mineral does in the body; it is not a proven result of this bottle. The same source lists a recommended daily allowance for adults of 310 to 420 mg of magnesium, depending on age and sex. This product's label gives the weight of the magnesium citrate (1,300 mg per serving), not how much of it is magnesium.
