Table 1. Depicting in detail the physiological roles of magnesium in the human system.

Notes: Table 1 was developed based on an earlier published paper [3].

	Magnesium functions		Description
1.	Enzymatic function	Substrate for kinases, ATPases, GTPases, cyclases, activator for phosphofructokinase, creatine kinase, 5-phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate synthetase, adenylate cyclase, and sodium-potassium ATPase (Na+-K+-ATPase)
2.	Membrane function	Facilitates cell adhesion, aids in transmembrane electrolyte flux
3.	Ca2+ antagonist	It involves muscle contractility, stimulates neurotransmitter release, mediates action potential conduction
4.	Structural function	Forms the structure of nucleic acids, proteins, polyribosomes, enzyme structures, and mitochondria
