Due to it's nuclear spin, magnesium-25 is 2.5x as efficient at catalyzing the synthesis of ATP and stabilizing it in the cytosol, than the 9x more abundant isotope; magnesium-24 which has no nuclear spin. Many people are already deficient in magnesium due to a diet high in processed foods. supplementing with isotopically enriched magnesium (meaning more Mg-25 than the naturally more common Mg-24), could provide a strong stimulant effect rather than traditional depressant role of large doses of Mg^2+ displacing Ca^2+ from its ion channel, and result in dramatically increased metabolism and improved functioning in each cell in the body. I incidentally ran into this as I was researching how I could actually put my rational design project into a GMO cell culture line.

Sad to hear. Potentially stimulating Mg sounds really neat.

It looks like I can get Magnesium-25. However, can we even supplement elemental magnesium orally? It is usually in oxide or a chelate form when used orally.
