What are the advantages and disadvantages of magnesium?

ADVANTAGES: Zinc has many uses. Zinc can be used to create many different alloys, including brass, which is made up of almost 50% zinc. Also, zinc is used quite often as an anti-corrosive agent, which is to say that it can be used as a coating for things that would otherwise fall apart. Zinc oxide, a compound of zinc and oxygen, is used by artists as a white pigment in paints. DISADVANTAGES: Zinc is less dense than iron, which could be taken as a bad or a good thing. Zinc is very hard and brittle, but between the temperatures of 100 and 150 degrees celsius it becomes malleable, which means you can bend and move it.

Magnesium is a mineral, not a vitamin. It is essential to good health, but like everything else, too much is bad. It's the Goldilocks Principle; too much, too little, and "just right". The "just right" amount for magnesium is about 400 milligrams per day depending on age and weight, somewhat less for children. Magnesium is found in most green leafy vegetables and nuts.
