Let’s Talk About Magnesium
Welcome back, Whole View listeners. (0:27)
Stacy is so excited for 410 because it is one of those shows that she asked for.
She has taken other magnesium before years ago and did not feel a difference.
So she asked Sarah why BiOptimizers magnesium makes her feel so good.
And Sarah decided that this would make for a great podcast episode, as opposed to leaving the information in a text exchange.
Stacy is super excited to dive into the science of magnesium.
But first, a quick shout out to this week’s sponsor, BiOptimizers.
We reached out to them asking if they would sponsor this week’s show because Stacy personally loves and feels different on their magnesium.
If you haven’t felt a difference when you take other magnesium supplements, Stacy recommends that you give BiOptimizers a try.

Sarah noted that this is actually episode 409.
She too is very excited to talk about magnesium.
Sarah feels that this is an undervalued nutrient.
It is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body.
One of the things that Stacy wants to point out is that in light of the recent sleep issue podcast episodes, magnesium is a helpful tool when taken in the evenings.
Magnesium’s Role in the Human Body
Magnesium is necessary for more than 300 different enzymes to work. (5:14)
Whether as a co-factor or a stabilizer, this nutrient is critical in the human body.
Among the enzymes that magnesium is required for to work is every enzyme that uses or synthesizes ATP.
ATP is the basic energy currency of all cells.
So our cells cannot make energy or use energy without magnesium.
ATP is required for everything related to metabolism.
If you start to look at every single action that uses cellular energy or makes cellular energy as magnesium-dependent, it starts to become really easy to see why magnesium is so important for human health.
Plus, it has such a diverse range of effects.
It is also required for the enzymes that synthesize DNA and RNA.
Magnesium is an essential cofactor for many enzymatic reactions involved in neurotransmitter synthesis.
It is also a constituent of bones and teeth and regulates bone formation.
