Magnesium is an essential mineral in the diet. It is commonly added to food in the form of magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is required to maintain muscle and nerve function, is an important component of bone, and plays many other roles in the body. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
