Synopsis

Rating (out of 5): 4

Magnesium plays a crucial role in the regulation of parathyroid gland function and calcium homeostasis. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), which maintains serum calcium levels within a narrow range. Scientific studies have demonstrated that magnesium is required for the secretion and action of PTH. Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) can impair PTH secretion and also induce resistance to PTH in target tissues, leading to hypocalcemia (low calcium levels). In some cases, magnesium deficiency can cause symptoms similar to hypoparathyroidism, such as muscle cramps and tetany, which are reversible with magnesium supplementation. Clinical guidelines recommend assessing and correcting magnesium levels in patients with hypocalcemia that is unresponsive to calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Several reviews and clinical studies (e.g., Rude et al., 1976; Agus, 2016) confirm the essential interaction between magnesium and parathyroid physiology. Therefore, magnesium is used with scientific justification to support normal parathyroid gland function, especially in situations where magnesium deficiency is present.
