E46: Magnesium: The Most Important Mineral for Mental Health?

from This Is Your Brain On Drugs Psychiatry Podcast

On today's show I will be talking about minerals and specifically magnesium. Magnesium is critical for cell functioning and neurons are certainly no exception. I'll talk about what magnesium does, how you can be deficient, how it's very difficult to measure neuronal levels, what foods contain it, what research there is to support the use of magnesium in depression, and I'll try to help sort out all those crazy different types of magnesium you see online and at the store. This is definitely a mineral to pay attention to and is just one of two that I'll be discussing, so I'm sure you will enjoy.
