− | Magnesium is an important '''[[Nutrition Glossary#Cofactor|cofactor]] in enzyme reactions '''involved in major metabolic pathways. Examples include those associated with cellular respiration and the transfer of phosphate between adenosine triphosphate (ATP), diphosphate (ADP) and monophosphate (AMP). It is also vital for normal '''nerve, muscle''' and '''heart function''' and '''bone mineral formation'''. | + | Magnesium is an important '''[[Nutrition Glossary#Cofactor|cofactor]] in enzyme reactions '''involved in major metabolic pathways.
