Pharmacology

Magnesium belongs to the group of drugs called mineral support products. It occurs in nature in the form of the mineral periclase. Magnesium is required for energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis. In its purest form, magnesium oxide is a colorless or white crystalline material or very fine powder, with no odor and a bitter taste.

Magnesium helps to regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. It contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and the antioxidant glutathione. Magnesium also plays a role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm.

Distribution: The volume of distribution of magnesium is 13.65 to 49.00 L
