THE ROLE OF MAGNESIUM

Magnesium plays a primary role in your child’s health but it’s not often discussed. Let’s take a closer look at what it does and where we can get it.

Magnesium is a super mineral. It encourages lots of other vitamins and minerals to do what they’re supposed to. It helps to extract energy from food and it plays a part in multiple systems within your little one’s body.

BENEFITS OF MAGNESIUM

Heart health and immunity Magnesium keeps your child’s heart rhythm healthy. It keeps the connection strong between the nerves that tell the heart to beat and the muscles that make the heartbeat, so that everything works as it should.

Magnesium keeps the immune system strong, especially when it is fighting something off. It reinforces the ability of white blood cells to combat bugs and germs affecting our children.

Teeth and bones

Magnesium makes our child’s teeth and bones stronger and healthier. It helps maintain bone density and can stave off some bone-related illnesses, such as osteoporosis. Research has shown that the amount of magnesium consumed by a child is an accurate indicator of their bone health as they grow up.

Muscles

Combined with calcium, magnesium works to promote muscle function. It will relieve sore or tight muscles and can even aid flexibility. It works with calcium to optimise muscle contraction and relaxation. Magnesium also assists the body in using protein to help your little one grow big and strong!
