Study:
If you would like to read a study on the effect that supplemental magnesium has on insomnia, click HERE. This is from that study: “Magnesium supplementation is often purported to improve sleep. However, as both an over-the-counter sleep aid and a complementary and alternative medicine, there is limited evidence to support this assertion. The aim was to assess the effectiveness and safety of magnesium supplementation for older adults with insomnia. This review confirms that the quality of literature is substandard for physicians. This is in order to make well-informed recommendations on usage of oral magnesium for older adults with insomnia. However, RCTs may support oral magnesium supplements for insomnia symptoms.”
Study:
This is another study of the effect of Magnesium in disease prevention and health. This is from that study: “Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral. It is the second most abundant intracellular divalent cation and has been recognized as a cofactor for >300 metabolic reactions in the body. Some of the processes in which magnesium is a cofactor include, but are not limited to, protein synthesis, cellular energy production and storage. But also reproduction, DNA and RNA synthesis, and stabilizing mitochondrial membranes. Magnesium also plays a critical role in nerve transmission, cardiac excitability and neuromuscular conduction. But also muscular contraction, vasomotor tone, blood pressure, and glucose and insulin metabolism.
Because of magnesium’s many functions within the body, it plays a major role in disease prevention and overall health. Low levels of magnesium have been associated with a number of chronic diseases. They include migraine headaches, Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Good food sources of magnesium include unrefined (whole) grains, spinach, nuts, legumes, and white potatoes (tubers). This review presents recent research in the areas of magnesium and chronic disease, with the goal of emphasizing magnesium’s role in disease prevention and overall health.”
