Magnesium plays a vital role in the function and structure of the body.

The adult human body consist of 25 grams of magnesium i.e. 0.25 % of the human body composition approximately.

Therefore, for a 60 kg adult, then the amount of magnesium in their body would be


0.25* (60 kg)/(100)

= 0.15 kg

Convert kg to g:

1 kg = 1000 g

So, 0.15 kg =
0.15 * 1000 = 150 grams

Thus, amount of magnesium in 60 kg adult is equal to 150 grams
