🧲 Magnesium Homeostasis: The Body's Overlooked Mineral Balance

Explore how magnesium powers over 300 enzyme reactions, how the gut and kidneys keep serum levels stable, and what happens when that balance breaks down.

This simulator visualizes how intestinal absorption pathways, renal handling in the loop of Henle, and bone exchange interact to keep serum magnesium within its narrow normal range.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

This simulator visualizes how intestinal absorption pathways, renal handling in the loop of Henle, and bone exchange interact to keep serum magnesium within its narrow normal range.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust dietary intake, renal function, and diuretic use to see how each factor shifts serum magnesium toward hypomagnesemia or hypermagnesemia in real time.

💡 Did You Know?

Less than 1 percent of total body magnesium circulates in the blood, so a normal serum reading can still coexist with significant whole-body magnesium depletion.
