WTF is Magnesium
The importance of a mineral in the body that controls more than 300 enzyme reactions
I recently underwent a full-body annual health check-up and was particularly keen to know about a parameter that I would often overlook in my blood tests: magnesium.
I first technically came across magnesium in my 8th standard Chemistry class, but it wasn't until 2017 when the late, great Charles Poliquin mentioned it in his interview with Tim Ferriss in 'The Tools of Titans' that I took notice. However, I didn't fully grasp the importance of the supplement until 2021.
Here's a 101 on everything you need to know about magnesium: the different forms available and why emerging research on magnesium is gaining acceptance among health professionals.
During my research, I consulted with several doctors. While a select few mentioned they include magnesium tests, most stated they do not. The reason is, that positive research findings have only emerged in the last five years. However, magnesium testing will likely become more mainstream in the future.
