Magnesium plays an important role in overall wellness and is involved in many processes throughout the body. This small mineral supports normal function of the nervous system and is often associated with relaxation, stress response and sleep quality. It also contributes to healthy nerve signaling and muscle function.
Magnesium helps support normal muscle contraction and relaxation and plays a role in heart rhythm, circulation, and bone structure. In addition, it is involved in immune function, including processes related to T-cells— an important part of the body’s immune response.
What are T-cells?
T-cells (short for T-lymphocytes) are white blood cells that helps the body respond to potential threats. They play a role in identifying infected or abnormal cells, supporting the immune response, and helping maintain immune memory.
