- Magnesium acts as a cofactor in over 300 essential enzymatic reactions.
- To name but a few essential bodily processes, magnesium is vital for; energy production, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure control, DNA and protein synthesis, bone health, immunity, brain function (including ADHD), mental health, and sleep.
- It also aids in moving calcium and potassium across cell membranes. 63% of the body's magnesium resides in the bones, highlighting its importance for bone health.
- 27% of the body's magnesium resides in the muscles, hence if you're deficient why you may experience muscle tension and cramping - think 'waking up in the night' with chicken toe cramping! Ouch.
- Being deficient, your nervous system becomes hyper-excitable, triggering anxiety and poor sleep.
- Insulin sensitivity decreases (75% of Type 2 diabetics show magnesium deficiency).
- Muscle cramps, spasms, tremors and twitches
- Anxiety, depression, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, headaches, migraines
- PMS symptoms
- Vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Kidney stones
- Acid reflux
- Chronic pain
- Constipation
- Hearing loss
- Sensitivity to noise
- Immune dysfunction
- Seizures
- Cognitive decline
- General body pain
- Magnesium deficiency may alter serotonin receptors, potentially triggering migraines, and magnesium can be as effective as some prescription medications for migraine prevention.
- Children with ADHD often have lower magnesium levels, and supplementation may significantly improve cognitive function and reduce hyperactivity.
- Magnesium can influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms, affecting stress response and longevity.
- Magnesium supplementation has been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms.
- Higher magnesium intake is associated with a lower risk of stroke and metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes).
- Magnesium threonate may support neurological function and thus improve learning abilities and memory!!! Did you read that, improved MEMORY!
