from Listen, Learn, Adapt · host Anthony Novello
This episode does a deep dive into a comprehensive review article titled "Magnesium Matters: A Comprehensive Review of Its Vital Role in Health and Diseases." This review details the physiological functions and metabolic processes of magnesium (Mg), emphasizing its role as an essential mineral and cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions vital for maintaining health. We will explore the health consequences of Mg deficiency and its established associations with chronic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, we will discuss Mg metabolism, requirements (RDA), and the impact of deficiency in specific populations, such as the aging population, while discussing the therapeutic potential, optimal dosages, and duration of Mg supplementation.Fatima G, Dzupina A, B Alhmadi H, et al.
