Magnesium plays an important role in the processes of movement and relaxation. It plays a key role in our recovery, rejuvenation, and ability to use energy. Without magnesium, we can't get very far and may struggle with restlessness, cramps, fatigue, aches and pains, dehydration, and impaired mental function (i.e. over emotional, angry, poor concentration, poor comprehension, etc). Magnesium helps maintain a healthy energy system in our body and keeps it's physical structure clean, active and revitalized.
