Magnesium is the eleventh most abundant element by mass in the human body. The adult body content is 25 g distributed in the skeleton and soft tissues. The chemical is essential in manipulating important biological polyphosphate such as ATP, DNA, and RNA and in functionming enzymes(a).

     Magnesium: Magnesium metabolism in 4 to 8 year old children

Magnesium (Mg) is a key factor in bone health, but few studies have evaluated Mg intake or absorption and their relationship with bone mineral content (BMC) or bonemineral density (BMD) in children. In the study to measure Mg intake, absorption, and urinary excretion in a group of children 4 to 8 yrs of age, found that a small, but significantly greater Mg absorption efficiency (percentage absorption) in males than females (67 ± 12% vs 60 ± 8%, p = 0.02) but no difference in estimated net Mg retention (average of 37 mg/day in both males and females). Relating dietary Mg intake to estimated Mg retention showed that an intake of 133 mg/day, slightly above the current Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) of 110 mg/day led to a net average retention of 10 mg/day, the likely minimum growth-related need for this age group. Covariate analysis showed that Mg intake and total Mg absorption, but not calcium intake or total absorption were significantly associated with both total body BMC and BMD. These results suggest that usual Mg intakes in small children in the United States meet dietary requirements in most but not all children. Within the usual range of children's diets in the United States, dietary Mg intake and absorption may be important, relatively unrecognized factors in bone health(6).
