Magnesium Benefits at a Glance:
Known as a calming mineral for its role in neurotransmitter function, low magnesium levels are commonly reported in those suffering from increased psychological stress.
By controlling the release of stress hormones like cortisol and supporting GABA production (a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and calmness), magnesium may help reduce feelings of anxiety, depression and irritability.
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes, including energy production, hormone regulation, nerve health and bone strength – yet it’s one of North America’s most common nutrient deficiencies (and is depleted by stress). Increasing your intake during periods of stress can help lower cortisol, improve sleep quality, calm your nervous system and help you relax.
Why It’s Included
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for nervous system function, hormonal health and energy production, making it a key nutrient to help buffer your system against stress.
