What does the science say?
π Relaxation & Reduced Anxiety
Animal studies
5 animal studies have shown that the deficiency of Magnesium (Mg) elevates anxiety states. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- "...we report that Mg-depletion leads to enhanced depression- and anxiety-related behavior in mice..." [2]
- "Overall, the present findings demonstrate the robustness and validity of the Mg2+deficiency model as a mouse model of enhanced anxiety..." [4]
And 2 studies have shown, that supplementing with Magnesium reduces the anxiety-related behavior. [6, 7]
- "Combination of Mg salts and [vitamin B6] can be effective at treating some behavior form of primary Mg deficiency." [6]
- "The antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effect of Magnesium was demonstrated in groups treated acutely and chronically with Magnesium..." [7]
Clinical studies
7 clinical trials have studied the effects ofΒ Magnesium supplementation on measures of anxiety.
5/7 studies reported significantΒ positive results. [8, 9, 10, 11, 12] Several of these studies combined Magnesium with other substances, like plant extracts [8], and vitamin B6 [10, 12].
- "...After 6 months of magnesium prophylaxis... physical and psychosocial well-being improved. Children also reported fewer anxiety and depressive symptoms." [9]
- "At the end of the study, the mean level of anxiety and depression was significantly lower in the intervention group than the control group, moreover, mean sleep quality improved in the intervention group compared to the control group" [11]
1 study has shown no results, but the dosage in that study was very low β 65 mg of elemental magnesium. [13]
1 study reported decreased anxiety scores only when magnesium was combined with 50 mg of vitamin B6. However, there were also evidences, that the bioavailability of the magnesium oxide in thatΒ study was too low. [14]
In summary, there were improvements in six different anxiety & depression scores in those studies. [15, 16]
π΄ Better Sleep
Clinical Studies on Magnesium and Sleep
By 2024 there were 7 clinical studies on the efficiency of Magnesium in improving sleep with clear significant results.
2/7Β studies reported no efficiency, but:
- in one study the dosage was extremely low: ~12 mg of elementary Magnesium [17];
- in another study Mg was taken with the breakfast, which is too early [18].
5/7 studies reported positive results of Magnesium intake on sleep parameters. [11, 19, 20, 21, 22]
- "...Sleep efficiency improved from 75Β±12% to 85Β±8%...Our study indicates that magnesium treatment may be a useful alternative therapy in patients with mild or moderate RLS- or PLMS-related insomnia." [19]
- "Our results suggest that Mg(2+) partially reverses sleep EEG and nocturnal neuroendocrine changes occurring during aging." [20]
- The results of this study should be interpreted with caution, because no control group with placebo was investigated. Both subjective and, partly, objective parameters of sleep improved during the 4-week study period"" [21]
- "Supplementation of magnesium appears to improve subjective measures of insomnia such as ISI score, sleep efficiency, sleep time and sleep onset latency, early morning awakening, and likewise, insomnia objective measures such as concentration of serum renin, melatonin, and serum cortisol, in elderly people." [22]
- "At the end of the study, the mean level of anxiety and depression was significantly lower in the intervention group than the control group, moreover, mean sleep quality improved in the intervention group compared to the control group" [11]
Clinical Studies on Glycine and Sleep
Magnesium glycinate consists of:
- 14% of elementary Magnesium
- and 86% of amino acid Glycine,
which by itself also helps improve sleep, and is beneficial for many other health outcomes.
3 clinical studies have shown, that Glycine improved sleep quality, alertness and cognition, and decreased fatigue and sleepinessΒ in dosages 3Β g/day before bedtime. [23, 24, 25]
- "We found that orally administered glycine acts on
NMDARs in the SCN and decreases CBT, resulting in an improvement in sleep quality." [23] - "...ingestion of glycine before bedtime seems to produce subjective and objective improvement of the sleep quality..." [24]
- "The glycine ingestion significantly improved the following elements: βfatigueβ, βliveliness and peppinessβ, and βclear-headednessβ. These results suggest that glycine produced a good subjective feeling after awakening from sleep." [25]
π Reduced Headaches
A lots of scientific literature suggests a relationship between Magnesium deficiency and mild and moderate tension-type headaches and migraines. [26, 27]
A Cochrane review grades Magnesium as one of the strongly recommended treatments for migraine headaches. [28]
5 randomized placebo-controlled clinical studies have shown the efficiency of Magnesium in reducing frequency, duration, and intensity of migraines. [29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
- "81 patients aged 18β65 years with migraine...received oral...magnesium...daily for 12 weeks or placebo. In weeks 9β12 the attack frequency was reduced by 41.6% in the magnesium group and by 15.8% in the placebo... The number of days with migraine and the drug consumption for symptomatic treatment per patient also decreased significantly in the Magnesium group..." [29]
- After a 3-month treatment period with oral Magnesium for migraine without aura, there were a significant improvement in attack frequency and severity. [30]
- Magnesium increased the efficacy of ibuprofen and acetaminophen for the acute treatment of primary migraine in children. Magnesium pretreatment induced a significant decrease in pain intensity, and in pain frequency. [31]
- "...magnesium could enhance the antimigraine properties of sodium valproate in combination therapy and reduce the required valproate dose for migraine prophylaxis." [32]
- "This study has shown that 500 mg magnesium oxide appears to be effective in migraine prophylaxis similar to valproate sodium without significant adverse effect." [33]
πͺ Muscle Health, Growth & Cramps Reduction
Magnesium is essential for muscle health, growth and recovery.
- A 2023 review on the role of Magnesium in Muscle Health: "...skeletal muscle houses approximately 20% of the bodyβs total magnesium...It plays a central role in processes such as protein synthesis, energy production, and muscle contraction while also offering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits" [34]
Although, Magnesium intake can't provide additional muscle growth, its deficiency can significantly slower muscle growth and recovery.
- Over 50% of population may have Magnesium deficiencies, consuming less than 360-420 mg/dayΒ (5β7 mg/kg/day).Β [35, 36]
- A 2022 study of 766 adolescents 14-18 years oldΒ in southeast US has concluded, that "The average daily magnesium intakes were ~200 mg and ~205 mg for males and females, respectively, far below the recommended amounts of 410 mg for males and 360 mg for females...Almost none of the adolescents met the recommendations...Lower magnesium intake was associated with higher CRP [inflammation marker] and lower muscle mass." [37]
Moreover, athletes require more Magnesium, than sedentary people:
- "...individuals engaged in intense exercise should have a Mg requirement 10β20% higher than sedentary people...These studies showed that Magnesium supplementation reduced muscle soreness, improved performance, recovery..." [38]
And, Magnesium can help with nocturnal muscle cramps:
- "The number of nocturnal leg crumps (NLC) episodes has significantly decreased by the end of the study..., indicating a higher decrease in the Magnesium group as compared to the placebo group (ββ3.4 vs ββ2.6). In addition, Magnesium treatment resulted in a greater reduction in NLC duration and greater improvement in sleep quality as compared to placebo." [39]
β€οΈΒ Overall Health & Well-being
Magnesium
Magnesium is crucial for the work of around 300 enzymesΒ in 600 biochemical reactions, across all body systems. Magnesium regulatesΒ muscle contraction, protein synthesis,Β energy production, blood sugar control, heart contraction, blood pressure, and many other crucial processes.Β [40, 41]
There were too many studies of Magnesium on different aspects of human health, so here are just a few summaries from the reviews of those studies:
- "Because of Magnesiumβs many functions within the body, it plays a major role in disease prevention and overall health. Low levels of magnesium have been associated with a number of chronic diseases including migraine headaches, Alzheimerβs disease, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus." [42]
- "...Increasing dietary magnesium intake is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, heart failure, diabetes, and all-cause mortality..." [43]
- "...high Mg intake is associated with lower risk of major cardiovascular risk factors (mainly metabolic syndrome, diabetes and hypertension), stroke and total cardiovascular diseases" [44]
- "Level I evidence supports the use of magnesium in the prevention and treatment of many common health conditions including migraine headache, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, asthma, premenstrual syndrome, preeclampsia, and various cardiac arrhythmias. Magnesium may also be considered for prevention of renal calculi and cataract formation, as an adjunct or treatment for depression, and as a therapeutic intervention for many other health-related disorders." [45]
- "...Magnesium supplementation can not only preserve liver function, but also slow the progression of liver disease, and reduce the mortality associated..." [46]
- "In all studies there was a benefit both in terms of bone mineral density and fracture risk." [47]
Glycine
Magnesium glycinate consists of 14% of elementary Magnesium, and 86% of amino acid Glycine.
In animal studies, glycine has shown:
- anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects [48, 49, 50].
- lifespan extension of C. elegans by up to 33% [51, 52], rats by ~20% [53], and mice by 6% [54].
In human studies, glycine has shown:
