Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Magnesium plays a role in numerous physiological processes that are important to the reproductive system, and there is some scientific evidence supporting its use, though the evidence is not strong. Magnesium is involved in hormone synthesis, regulation of the menstrual cycle, and muscle relaxation, including the smooth muscle of the uterus. Some studies have explored magnesium supplementation for conditions such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), and premenstrual migraine, with mixed but somewhat positive results. For example, magnesium supplementation has been shown to reduce the severity of PMS symptoms in some women, and there is modest evidence that it may help alleviate menstrual cramps.

In the context of fertility, low magnesium status has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, and deficiency can affect hormone balance. Additionally, magnesium is sometimes used in obstetric medicine to manage preeclampsia and eclampsia (severe pregnancy complications), though this is a specific medical application rather than general reproductive support. Overall, while there is scientific rationale and some clinical evidence for magnesium’s role in reproductive health, especially for symptom management in PMS and pregnancy complications, the level of evidence is moderate and does not support magnesium as a primary or standalone intervention for overall reproductive system support.
