Welcome to the IPRS Community

It is our mission to conduct and encourage research to increase our understanding of the role of magnesium and other minerals in health and disease, to develop the tools to monitor magnesium, to educate people about the importance of having adequate levels of  magnesium and to advocate for additional research and adoption of standards and best practices so as to more effectively prevent and/or treat various magnesium-related diseases on a global scale.

There are a number of ways you can participate.
