Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4
Magnesium plays a crucial role in supporting the endocrine, or "Specific Hormones," body system. This mineral is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, many of which are involved in hormone regulation. Scientific studies have demonstrated that magnesium is essential for the synthesis and function of various hormones, including insulin, thyroid hormones, and parathyroid hormone. For example, magnesium deficiency has been linked to impaired insulin secretion and increased risk of insulin resistance, which is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. Additionally, magnesium is important for the conversion of inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to its active form (T3), thus supporting normal thyroid function. Clinical trials have shown that magnesium supplementation can improve glycemic control in people with diabetes and may help with symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which is largely driven by hormonal fluctuations. While not every hormone is directly influenced by magnesium status, there is substantial scientific evidence supporting its role in endocrine health, particularly regarding glucose metabolism, thyroid function, and reproductive hormones. Therefore, the use of magnesium to support the Specific Hormones body system is justified by scientific validation.
