How Magnesium Deficiency Impacts Your Heart, Sleep, and Mood

Magnesium plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular health, particularly in preventing arrhythmias like Torsades de Pointes and sudden cardiac death, which can result from magnesium deficiency. It regulates electrolytes such as sodium, calcium, and potassium within heart cells, helping to maintain proper heart function and rhythm. Additionally, magnesium helps manage hypertension by relaxing smooth muscles around arteries and acting as a natural vasodilator, which can reduce blood pressure without the side effects of medications. Beyond heart health, magnesium is essential for brain function, impacting neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin. A deficiency can lead to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression, as magnesium is required for serotonin synthesis. Addressing magnesium deficiency through supplementation may offer a natural solution to these common health issues, reducing the need for medications like SSRIs and sleep aids.
