Magnesium
 

This highly reactive element form the periodic table is used in a variety of ways. As with other minerals, it helps for some of the structures in the body not just bones and teeth, but also cellular walls. This only accounts for about half of the body's total Magnesium, however. The other half performs different chemical reactions in the body including a normal heart rhythm and supporting a healthy immune system. Today researchers are taking a new look at Magnesium, because recent advancements have suggested that it plays a role in the body's natural treatment of hypertension, diabetes and even cardiovascular disease.
