The ultimate rebellion in a dysfunctional society - Health!

"I’d never diminish the evidence-based power of B vitamins, fatty acids, & fat soluble-vitamins like A, D, & K, but if I want one mineral that does it all, magnesium is it.

On a more technical level, #magnesium is an essential #NMDA receptor modulator, which is a brain chemical port that regulates the actions of the excitatory neurotransmitter, #glutamate . It’s also critical for the production of #cellularenergy (ATP), & SAMe, the body’s major methyl donor and precursor to important agents like #neurochemicals , #fattyacids , & #antioxidants .

In many ways, having enough magnesium allows the body to do what it does best.

#Depression , #Anxiety , #PMS , #Headaches

Magnesium has been demonstrated to be a rapidly effective intervention for depression, likely related to its role in regulating neuronal function through calcium flux in and out of cells, & potentially its role in optimal thyroid function—an underactive thyroid is a known cause of depression.

Magnesium is also critical for those struggling with PMS, including #premenstrual #migraines , irritability, low mood, & cramps. Of women supplemented with a conservative dose of 250mg daily for three months, 34% experienced relief of PMS. Similarly, by the second month of treatment with magnesium, women with PMS experienced improvement in mood & #pain in a randomized, controlled trial.

In a randomized, blinded, cross-over trial, magnesium with B6 was effective in relieving PMS-related anxiety & #menstrualmigraines . If women are cycling w/ low levels of magnesium, then they enter pregnancy depleted (up to 70% of women do), go on to deliver and #breastfeed , & the cumulative deficiency may play an important role in the onset of postpartum depression.

Importantly, magnesium may have #antiinflammatory properties, as was found in a study of women consuming the mineral dietarily." - KellyBrogan MD
