Magnesium is a crucial macro mineral that regulates numerous biochemical processes and physiological systems in the body, acting as an anti-stress mineral. It is primarily found in bone and soft tissues, and its absorption occurs mainly in the small intestine, where it can interfere with iron absorption when taken as supplements. Magnesium plays vital roles in maintaining bone health, regulating blood pressure, preventing respiratory issues, and supporting various metabolic functions.

2. Magnesium adalah salah satu mineral makro yang
keberadaannya sangat dibutuhkan untuk mengatur ratusan
proses biokimia dan sistem fisiologis di dalam tubuh.
Magnesium juga sering disebut
sebagai mineral anti-stres.
Magnesium adalah kation kedua yang
paling banyak di dalam cairan intraseuler.
Magnesium di alam bebas → klorofil daun yang memiliki peran
sama dengan peran zat besi dalam ikatan hemoglobin didalam
darah manusia yaitu untuk pernafasan.

6. Magnesium Metabolism

8. Magnesium circulation within the body...
-- Begins with the intake of food - we cannot produce the valuable mineral
alone.
-- After ingestion with food, the major part of the mineral has initially a
good way to travel: to the small intestine.
-- Only then is it absorbed:-
1. via the active carrier transport process and
2. for larger quantities, via passive diffusion.
Important! Interaction with iron when supplements are used:
-- the absorption of magnesium interferes with that of iron!
-- In replacement therapy with both minerals, they should be taken at a
2 to 3 hour interval from one another.

10.  Magnesium is excreted via the intestines and the kidneys:-
1. Only approximately 5% of the amount filtered by the kidneys is ultimately
excreted.
2. The major part returns to the blood vessels via the ascending limb of Henle's
loop.

21. Distribution:
 67% in bone
 31% intracellularly
 1% extracellularly
In which,
 25-30% is protein bound
 10-15% complexed
 50-60% ionized
