Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body that is necessary for many organs
and tissues to function properly. Its deficiency has been implicated in cardiovascular
disease, behavioural problems, diabetes, chronic fatigue, migraine headaches,
muscular complaints, osteoporosis, and premenstrual syndrome. Studies indicate that
a significant number of North Americans fail to meet the recommended daily intake
of magnesium.
Cardiovascular Disease
Epidemiologic studies (statistical studies on human populations which attempt to
link health effects to a specified cause) have linked low levels of magnesium and the
increased frequency of heart disease and cardiovascular deaths. High blood pressure
specifically is associated with low magnesium levels.
Behavioural Problems
Magnesium deficiency occurs more frequently in children with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in healthy children. Studies have shown that
magnesium supplementation reduces the symptoms of ADHD in children.
In one such study, a combination of magnesium and vitamin B6 was shown to
reduce symptoms such as physical aggressiveness, instability, and poor attention at
school in all study participants (52 children) after 1-6 months of treatment.
Magnesium, together with vitamin B6, may also be beneficial for autistic patients.
While no cure for autism is known, magnesium and B6 supplementation has led to
remarkable improvement in many cases.
Diabetes/Metabolic Syndrome
Magnesium pays a major role in the secretion and effects of insulin.
Supplementation with magnesium has been noted to improve insulin response and
action, as well as glucose tolerance. Studies in patients with blood sugar problems
have shown magnesium to be extremely beneficial.
Chronic Fatigue
Results obtained in clinical trials already during the 1960’s showed that between
75 and 91% of almost 3,000 patients with fatigue experienced improvement with
magnesium (concurrently with potassium) supplementation. The beneficial effects
were often noted after 4-5 days of treatment. Similar results have also been reported
in a more recent study.
Headaches/Migraine
In order to evaluate the preventative effects of supplemental magnesium,
81 patients with migraine (average attack frequency 3.6 per month) were given
magnesium or placebo for 12 weeks. In weeks 9-12 of the study the attack frequency
was reduced by 41.6% in the magnesium group compared to 15.8% in the placebo
group.
Headaches due to muscle tension are also associated with magnesium deficiency.
Muscular Complaints
Because magnesium is needed to allow muscles to relax, a deficiency increases the
likelihood of excessive muscle tension and may lead to muscle spasms (cramps), tics,
restless leg syndrome, night muscle spasms and twitches.
osteoporosis
Research indicates that magnesium may be just as important in the prevention
and treatment of osteoporosis as calcium. Magnesium affects mineral metabolism
in bone by a combination of effects on hormones and other factors that regulate
these processes. A deficiency of this mineral has an inhibitory effect on osteoblasts
(cells that build bone) and may result in increased osteoclast (cells that break down
existing bone) activity.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Several studies point to the effectiveness of magnesium supplementation in the
management of PMS (weight gain, swelling of the extremities, breast tenderness, and
abdominal bloating) and PMS-related mood changes.
Which Magnesium Supplements to Choose
Magnesium supplements are available in numerous salt forms as well as amino
acid chelates. The absorption rate and tolerability may vary greatly between the
different supplemental forms. Many are poorly tolerated at therapeutic doses due to
the mineral’s laxative effect.
Magnesium in its inorganic state (simple salt) is absorbed only to the extent of
about 5-10%. Inorganic minerals must be altered from their natural state before they
can penetrate the intestinal barrier. The most efficient way to achieve this goal is by
combining them with amino acids.
MagSense contains magnesium bisglycinate allowing for faster and more efficient
absorption.
