Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Magnesium is scientifically validated as supportive for the nervous system. Multiple clinical studies and meta-analyses indicate that magnesium plays a crucial role in nerve transmission, neuromuscular conduction, and the regulation of neurotransmitters. Magnesium acts as a natural calcium antagonist at the NMDA receptor, which is important for synaptic plasticity and nerve signaling. Deficiency in magnesium has been associated with neurological symptoms such as irritability, muscle cramps, tremors, and, in severe cases, seizures. Furthermore, there is evidence that magnesium supplementation can help with certain neurological conditions, including migraine prophylaxis and possibly reducing symptoms of anxiety. For example, a 2017 systematic review in "Nutrients" highlighted that magnesium supplementation may benefit individuals with mild anxiety and stress. Another review in "Headache" (2012) supports the use of magnesium for migraine prevention. However, evidence is weaker for other nerve-related conditions such as neuropathy or neurodegenerative disorders. Overall, the supportive role of magnesium for the nervous system is well-established in both basic physiological research and clinical trials, justifying its use in this context.
