Brain Cell Magnesium

Meaning

Brain Cell Magnesium refers specifically to the concentration and availability of the magnesium ion (Mg2+) within the intracellular and synaptic spaces of neuronal and glial cells. This mineral is a fundamental cofactor for hundreds of enzymatic reactions critical to cellular bioenergetics and nucleic acid stability. Adequate brain cell magnesium is crucial for regulating neuronal excitability and facilitating energy transfer within the central nervous system. Deficiencies can impair cognitive function and increase neuronal vulnerability to oxidative stress.
