Which of the following is NOT a function of magnesium?

  1. Supports protein synthesis

  2. Helps in blood clotting

  3. Aids in bone health

  4. Enhances immune function

The correct answer is: Helps in blood clotting

Magnesium plays several vital roles in the body, and its functions include supporting protein synthesis, aiding in bone health, and enhancing immune function. However, blood clotting primarily involves other minerals, specifically calcium, and vitamin K, rather than magnesium. While magnesium is involved in numerous biochemical reactions, it does not directly facilitate the process of blood clotting. Understanding the roles of various minerals in the body highlights the importance of a balanced diet to ensure adequate intake of all necessary nutrients for optimal physiological function. In this context, while magnesium contributes to many essential processes, blood clotting is primarily governed by factors independent of magnesium's action.
