WHAT DOES IT BRING ME?
This mineral is essential to good health - in fact it is the fourth most abundant mineral found in the body. Interestingly, about half of the magnesium in the body can be found stored in your bones. This mineral is really valuable because it helps to maintain muscle and nerve function, which you use every day when you're learning, playing, dancing, or just walking. Remember- your heart is a muscle too! It also helps your body fight illness and maintain bone strength.
