And this was a smaller study than I would like, but it reversed their epigenetic aging by like three years because...

Again, it's a hormone.

It's regulating more than 5% of your protein-encoding human genome.

I do think magnesium is important in there as well.

I mean, I think...

Again, about 40% of the U.S.

population doesn't get enough magnesium.

It's an essential mineral we're supposed to be getting from our diet.

Magnesium is also involved in making ATP, the energetic currency of our cells.

Basically, all of our cells need ATP to do anything.

And it's also involved in utilizing ATP, as well as DNA repair enzymes.

These are enzymes that are involved in repairing damage to our DNA.

I personally think that magnesium insufficiency causes an insidious type of damage daily that you can't look in the mirror and see.

Like when you're deficient in vitamin C, you're like, my gums are falling apart.

I have scurvy, right?

But like you can't see DNA damage.

You can't see it, but it's happening.

It's happening right now in my body and it's happening in your body.

It's happening.

Normal metabolism is happening, you know, every day.
