The formula that associates magnesium with a role in maintaining mental health and reducing fatigue or exhaustion.

Magnesium supports cardiovascular and bone health, promotes energy metabolism and brain function, and helps maintain nervous system function as well as already healthy blood pressure levels. Magnesium also supports healthy serum lipid profiles, a healthy inflammatory response and healthy endothelial function, and promotes metabolic health. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body. We need it for more than 300 biochemical reactions.

 

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF MAGNESIUM IN THE BODY?

There are approximately 25 grams of magnesium in our body, between 50 and 60% of this amount is in the bones, while the rest is in the muscles, soft tissues and blood. Every cell in the body contains magnesium and needs it to function.
Among the processes in which magnesium is involved are protein synthesis, blood sugar control and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Both physical and mental health depend to a large extent on this mineral. In the following we detail all the processes in which magnesium is involved:
 

• Metabolism of glucose and carbohydrates - Through its action in the process of metabolizing glucose, magnesium contributes to maintaining an optimal level of sugar in the blood and has a significant role in the prevention of diabetes or in keeping the disease under control. In fact, type 2 diabetes has been associated with magnesium deficiency, and the risk of developing this chronic disease is lower among those who have an optimal level of magnesium in the body. Through the same action, magnesium also has a major contribution in the process of transforming sugar into energy, a fact that gives it an even greater importance in our everyday state.
• Improving digestion - Magnesium acts on the muscles inside the digestive system, so it has a direct effect on digestion. Due to the action it has on intestinal transit, magnesium helps in improving slow transit and in fighting constipation.
• Increasing bone mineral density - Magnesium is directly involved in bone formation and influences the activity of osteblasts and osteoclasts (cells responsible for the formation of bone tissue), at the same time influencing the concentrations of parathyroid hormone and the active form of vitamin D, two major regulators of bone homeostasis (bone integrity). Due to the role it has in the bone system, magnesium helps to improve the symptoms of osteoporosis. Moreover, magnesium contributes to the health of the bone system and through the role it has in the calcium absorption process.
• Improving respiratory function - Some studies have shown that there is a direct link between magnesium deficiency and the development of asthma or other respiratory diseases. Researchers believe that a magnesium deficiency causes the accumulation of calcium in the muscles of the respiratory tract, which makes breathing difficult.
• The active transport of calcium, sodium and potassium ions in the cell membranes - Through this action, magnesium fights the accumulation of calcium and potassium in the muscles, supporting the proper functioning of the muscular system.
• Combating fatigue and exhaustion - Magnesium helps maintain an optimal energy level. A study conducted at the Center for the Study of Complementary Medicine in Southampton, England, demonstrated that magnesium sulfate is useful in treating patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.

 

At the same time, magnesium has a considerable contribution in:

• Adjunctive therapy of depressive states
• Increasing physical resistance (due to the role it plays at the muscular level)
• Fighting inflammation
• Migraine prevention

Through all these actions, magnesium is also recognized as a mineral to which we must pay a lot of attention during pregnancy. This mineral contributes to the prevention of preeclampsia (pathological condition in pregnant women after the 20th week of pregnancy, translated by an increase in blood pressure and the elimination of proteins through the urine) and to the weight gain of the baby.


 

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY. SYMPTOMS AND RISK FACTORS

Because it has such a complex role in the body and is involved in such a wide spectrum of biochemical reactions, magnesium deficiency can be felt both in the state of mind and in physical health. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include:

• Fatigue, exhaustion even if the patient rests enough, fainting states
• Anxiety, depression
• Nervousness, irritability
• Muscle cramps, tremors, muscle spasms
• Headaches
• Palpitations, arrhythmia
• High blood pressure
• Breathing difficulties
• Loss of appetite, nausea
• Digestive disorders - diarrhea, constipation

RISK FACTORS FOR MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY IN THE BODY


An unhealthy lifestyle can lead to numerous deficiencies, including magnesium. Food is, without a doubt, a crucial factor when it comes to the level of minerals in our body. Thus, a diet based on hyper-processed foods and a diet poor in vegetables and greens can lead to an acute lack of magnesium (and not only that).
