Mr. Magnesium...also known as Mg, number 12 or Mr. Lite weight. MAGNESIUM is abundant in supply here on earth because it builds up excess in super nova stars. Its a sliver white metal and it burns with a bright light, which is why it is used in flash bulbs.
Magnesium is a lite weight metal, so they sometimes use it for making the outer frames for cellphones and laptops.
Magnesium is vital, without it we would not exist. How? Well its used in the process of photosynthesis which provides oxygen that sustain life here on this beautiful earth.
Did you know that magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in our bodies and is a co - factor for the enzymes in our body? Every cell in our body needs magnesium. Its beneficial for nerve function, heart rhythm and building strong bones. It is also contained in some of the foods we eat like fruits, veggies, fish, nuts and mineral water.
Mr. MAGNESIUM and I are the best of friends :)

I don't take any vitamins or supplements, and after learning the importance of this mineral's role in helping our body function, I think I'll probably do a little research on the Magnesium content of some of my staple foods to make sure I'm good. Thanks
