An international research team led by Umeå professor Magnus Wolf-Watz has discovered how the magnesium atom directs the chemistry that catalyzes the production of the energy molecule ATP in a cell.

Within mitochondria, magnesium is crucial for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and binds to ATP to form bioactive Mg-ATP. Magnesium also supports oxygen utilization during exercise, endurance ...

Magnesium is an important cofactor for numerous enzymes. All ATPase reactions require Mg 2+ –ATP, including those involved in RNA and DNA biologic functions. It opposes calcium actions and acts as a ...

Magnesium affects hundreds of processes; many are deficient. Where to find it, who benefits, which type, and in what dose. Fatigue, lack of energy, and a feeling of heaviness have become especially ...

Essential for keeping your body in balance, magnesium quietly influences everything from how your muscles contract to the way your heart beats and your mind handles stress. When you experience low ...
