Why Magnesium May Be a Hidden Key to Your Cellular Energy and Aging
This review suggests keeping magnesium levels healthy may support cellular energy as you age.
Magnesium is usually seen as just a basic mineral your cells need. This review argues it does much more, acting like a switch that controls how well your mitochondria make energy. When magnesium levels drift over time, it may lower your cells' stress tolerance and push them toward aging. The authors link low magnesium to insulin resistance and metabolic problems.
