What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a FUEL for our body. It is needed for aerobic and anaerobic energy production. Magnesium fuels over 600 processes in the body.

Magnesium supports many physiological processes, including active mechanisms like muscle contraction and calming mechanisms like relaxation and sleep.

Magnesium supports a healthy heart, skeletal system and inflammatory response, as well as steady blood pressure, blood sugar and energy levels.

Magnesium is stored in three main organs, which is brain, bone and muscle.

How does Magnesium work in the brain?

Activates Serotonin to induce satisfaction and regulate attention.
Activates GABA to improve mood and sleep.
Reduces Cortisol to reduce stress and excitation.

Magnesium In The Bones

Magnesium is required for the production and release of parathyroid hormone. The parathyroid hormone produced by the thyroid glands helps maintain the right balance of calcium in the bloodstream and in tissues that depend on calcium for proper functioning. This is especially important for nerve and muscle function, as well as bone health. Magnesium converts vitamin D into its active form so that it can help calcium absorption.

Magnesium - the unknown nutrient for muscle and strength

Much of the body’s energy comes from ATP, a molecule that captures chemical energy from food and uses it to fuel other processes in the body.
ATP production depends on magnesium. The synthesis of ATP requires magnesium-dependent enzymes called ‘ATPases’. Magnesium acts as a cofactor in energy metabolism.
Mg is present as the Mg2+ ion, which can bind with ATP to form the Mg-ATP complex to be bioactive.

Why Athletes need more Magnesium?

Magnesium Supports Energy

The researchers assessed 10 postmenopausal women (45 - 71 years old) during a cycling exercise in relation to the amount of dietary magnesium that they were consuming.

35 days: Magnesium deficient diet 112mg + 200mg Mg supp.

93 days: Magnesium deficient diet 112mg/ day

49 days: Magnesium deficient diet 112mg + 200mg Mg supp.

The results showed that women who had low magnesium levels had higher oxygen use and higher heart rates during the cycling exercise. This suggests that these women were working harder and over time they will be more lethargic.

Magnesium Boosts Muscle Strength

A research reveals that having adequate magnesium levels can improve strength and power in athletes. A four-year analysis by a team at the University of East Anglia found that a greater dietary intake of magnesium improved muscle strength, muscle mass and bone mineral density in men and women from older age groups.

Magnesium Improves Performance

There is a group of 22 recreationally-active college students recruited in the research, and they were given 350mg/day of magnesium for 10 days. Results show magnesium significantly:

Reduced muscle soreness, session rating of perceived exertion, acute rating of perceived exertion
Improved perceived recovery after Mg supplementation
Improved performance

Magnesium Reduces Muscle Fatigue

Moderate exercise may decrease the glucose concentration while increasing the levels of lactate, which results in decreased efficiency of working muscle. Besides, magnesium increases plasma blood glucose, causing a spike in muscle glucose, brain glucose, reduces the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood and bran, therefore delays muscle and brain fatigue. In addiction, magnesium supplementation was able to maintain plasma glucose at relatively a high level post-exercise, suggesting that Mg can assist in muscle tissue recovery.
