Magnesium deficiency can induce symptoms and increase susceptibility to stress, and acute and chronic stress can trigger magnesium deficiency. This is known as the vicious circle, describing the bi-directional relationship between magnesium levels and stress.
When you’re under physical or emotional stress, your body releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. On the other hand, Magnesium acts as a natural nervous system relaxant. When magnesium levels are low, the stress response stays “on” longer. You may feel more anxious, restless, or fatigued. Sleep quality often declines, worsening the cycle.
How to break the cycle and restore balance? Eat a magnesium-rich diet, practice mindfulness, breathing, or yoga. But most of all, supplement with Mag-Tab®SR.
