Magnesium

Magnesium

Overview
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body, including energy production, protein synthesis, and muscle and nerve function. It is naturally present in green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes.

Scientific Investigations
Magnesium contributes to several normal bodily functions that are recognised by EFSA-authorised health claims, including:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism

• Normal functioning of the nervous system

• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue

• Electrolyte balance

Laboratory and clinical studies have explored magnesium’s role in these functions. For example:

• Boyle et al., 2017 – A randomized controlled trial with 264 participants investigating magnesium supplementation and subjective stress. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5452159/

• Slutsky et al., 2010 – Research in animal models examining elevated brain magnesium and synaptic plasticity. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20152124/

• Abbasi et al., 2012 – Double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial showing magnesium supplementation improved sleep quality in older adults. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23853635/
