Magnesium is one of the most abundant essential minerals in the human body and a key cofactor for more than 300 biological processes, especially for healthy muscular contraction, cardiovascular function, nervous system function, bone mineralization, and healthy blood sugar balance.
Furthermore, recent research has shown that magnesium deficiency is associated with feelings of anxiety and even panic attacks. It appears that magnesium deficiency dysregulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis—the primary glands responsible for producing stress hormones (i.e. catecholamines).
