It is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity, especially the activity of those enzymes involved in the production of energy. A deficiency of magnesium interferes with the transmission of nerve and muscular impulses, causing irritability, anxiety, restlessness and nervousness. Supplementing the diet with magnesium can help prevent depression, dizziness, muscular weakness, cramp, twitching and PMS.
