Foods with magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that is important for almost every cell in the body and is involved in over 300 chemical reactions. It is heavily involved in regulating blood pressure, supporting healthy bones and teeth, and muscle contractions.*

Magnesium is found in a variety of foods, including legumes, whole grains, bananas, avocados, leafy green vegetables, seeds, and nuts. Symptoms of low magnesium may include muscle cramps/spasms, muscle weakness, fatigue, low mood, and headaches/migraines.*

Magnesium supplements are widely available in the form of pills, capsules, and blends It is also available as transdermal or topical options.

Magnesium is vital for bone density and lowers the risk of osteoporosis in women.*(1) Magnesium and calcium are both important for healthy bones and preventing osteoporosis. Magnesium supports the absorption and metabolism of both calcium and vitamin D.* Without magnesium, calcium levels can become too high and this can lead to arterial calcification (2).

More than 48% of diabetic patients have a low magnesium level. It may play a role in carbohydrate and glucose metabolism, and thus people with low magnesium are more at risk of type 2 diabetes.* (3)

Studies have shown that magnesium has blood pressure lowering properties* (4). High blood pressure can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
