Five truths about magnesium 4-10

 
Eye twitching, is it caused by a magnesium deficiency?
 
YES&NO.
Eye twitching can also occur due to magnesium deficiency, but,
Stress, fatigue, and caffeine can also be causes.
 

Magnesium is also a very important component for nerve and muscle tissues.

Because magnesium plays a role in regulating muscle tension.

Therefore, magnesium deficiency causes problems with muscle contraction and relaxation.

Muscle spasms such as eyelid twitching may occur.

However, eyelid twitching can also be caused by stress, fatigue, excessive caffeine intake,
It can also occur due to reasons such as alcohol consumption.
In this case, the symptoms are episodic and occur during restful sleep or
If you do not drink coffee or alcohol, your condition naturally improves.

Can magnesium cause diarrhea?

One of the main side effects of excessive magnesium intake is diarrhea.

Magnesium is absorbed in the small and large intestines, just like calcium.

Excess magnesium in the body is excreted through the stool.

However, magnesium has the property of absorbing moisture, which causes the stool to become softer and leads to diarrhea.

Therefore, magnesium intake through supplements should not exceed the upper limit of 350mg.

You must be careful not to exceed.

Meanwhile, if diarrhea persists despite supplementing the recommended amount

It is also good to take components like vitamin D together to increase the absorption rate of magnesium in the body.

 
 
Does magnesium also help with depression?
Yes. That's correct.
Magnesium is a component that can help stabilize nerves.
Several studies have reported benefits regarding depression.
 

.

In 2017, a study on the relationship between magnesium and depression was published in the reputable journal PLOS ONE.

Daily for patients with mild to severe depression

When 248 mg of magnesium was administered, an improvement in depression symptoms was observed.

In another study, when participants took 500mg of magnesium daily

It is said that anxiety and depression symptoms have improved in just two weeks.

 

However, magnesium is not a medication, so treating depression with magnesium is not possible.

As I mentioned earlier, there are only research results suggesting that it may help alleviate symptoms.

Therefore, if depression symptoms are severe, it is essential to prioritize treatment at a mental health clinic.

 
Is magnesium related to dementia?
Yes. That's correct.
In the case of dementia patients, several studies have shown that their magnesium levels in the body are low.
 

Various studies have been conducted on the relationship between blood magnesium levels and dementia.

According to research findings, in the case of dementia patients, in serum and brain tissue

The magnesium level has decreased.

Accordingly, when dementia patients are given magnesium to consume,

They say that memory and other symptoms have been effectively improved.

Additionally, in 2022, the correlation between magnesium levels and dementia patients

A comprehensive research result has also been announced.

According to research findings, magnesium deficiency may be a risk factor for dementia.

Accordingly, magnesium supplementation has been identified as a potential adjunctive measure for treating dementia.

 

However, the mechanism by which magnesium affects dementia is still not fully understood.

There is no clear evidence.

Additionally, since magnesium is not a medication

Magnesium should not be mistaken for having a therapeutic effect on dementia.
