Magnesium is one of the leading nutritional deficiencies in adults with an estimated 80% of people being deficient! It is also one of the best known minerals that can help with stress and anxiety. And if you’re living with multiple sclerosis, it’s extremely important that you’re getting enough magnesium. Studies have shown that people with multiple sclerosis are often low in cellular magnesium!
Magnesium is pivotal in triggering the relaxation pathways in the body. One reason for this is that magnesium aids in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production, the neurotransmitter that soothes the nervous system and promotes sleep. Thus, a lack of magnesium can lead to sleep problems. Balance is vital as overconsumption of magnesium can also be detrimental to health.
