Between the moment food enters your body and the moment it leaves your body, hundreds of chemical reactions take place to ensure vital nutrients are retained and the digestion process takes place smoothly - and magnesium has a huge relevance in this. ⁠

⁠

From helping produce the enzymes in your saliva and intestines, to ensuring the actual mechanics (muscle contractions pushing the food through your digestive system) are working properly, magnesium plays a role.⁠
