Did you know magnesium is essential for cellular function?
—————
“Magnesium is indispensable for cellular function, serving as a counterion (an ion with an opposite charge that stabilizes another ion or molecule.) to ATP, the molecule that powers nearly all biological processes.
In this case, magnesium (Mg²⁺) neutralizes the negatively charged phosphate groups of ATP, forming a stable MgATP complex. This interaction enables it to participate in enzymatic processes like energy transfer.
Studies (PMID: 9730835) demonstrate that magnesium significantly enhances ATP's binding affinity, improving its ability to engage with enzymes by up to 80-fold.
Without magnesium, ATP could not function as the body's primary energy carrier, affecting vital processes like metabolism, DNA repair, and muscle contraction.
Magnesium isn’t just important, it’s essential for life.” - William Wallace, Ph.D
