Magnesium Benefits Greater Than Imagined

New research published in the journal BMC Bioinformatics as reported by GreenMedInfo, states that researchers have now detected 3,751 magnesium binding sites on human proteins, indicating that magnesium’s role in human health and disease may have been vastly underestimated.

While it is well known that all living things require magnesium, and that it is found in over 300 enzymes in the human body, including those enzymes utilizing or synthesizing ATP (the molecular unit of currency for energy transfer), the new studied titled, “3,751 magnesium binding sites have been detected on human proteins,” indicates that a deficiency of magnesium may profoundly affect a far wider range of biological structures than previously understood…
