Increased or decreased heart rate, tingling in hands, understand before it becomes serious
Magnesium is one of the most important electrolytes for the body. This mineral produces electric charge when mixed in fluid. It plays an important role in about 300 biochemical reactions of the body, which is essential for health. This also includes controlling the levels of nutrients like calcium, copper, zinc, potassium, and vitamin D.
A recent study published in ‘Frontiers in Nutrition’ has made frightening claims about the connection between magnesium supplements and pelvic inflammatory disease. Let us tell you that the risk of magnesium deficiency is higher in women than in men. It increases further in pregnancy and hormone related conditions.
Why is magnesium important for women
A study published in Health Science Reports in 2023 shows that magnesium supplementation improves hyperandrogenism, hirsutism and sleep quality in women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). All these problems are often associated with hormonal imbalances.
Important during pregnancy
During pregnancy and lactation in women, the need for magnesium increases. Magnesium is essential for the development of the nervous system of the baby growing in the womb. It reduces the risk of pregnancy complications such as premature delivery. It also prevents gestational diabetes.
