A great article by Dr. Jockers explaining several important facts about magnesium and depression...this is a very user friendly site...I hope this helps someone as so many suffer episodes of depression at some point in their lives...it is important to understand the different forms of magnesium, as they have different healing properties..I personally use magnesium glycinate for nocturnal leg cramps...it works well...a blend is really the best way to go...
I also use magnesium oil spray for nocturnal muscle cramps and I love it...it works very quickly so I only use when necessary...there is a leg cramp homeopathy by Hyland's that I also utilize and keep on hand because it works so quickly...
Article has zero mention of chronically destroyed circadian rhythms and living in junk light environments. The #1 cause of depression and other mental disorders.
Magnesium is not going to work as expected without mitochondrial water production, and it is chronic and consistent exposure to full spectrum sunlight that creates mitochondrial water. Red light specifically creates water at cytochrome c oxidase to support Mg function. Magnesium is a hydrophilic cation. If your colony of mitochondria is not making water from oxidative phosphorilation in a tissue, Mg2+ supps won't make up that gap. Biophysics is more fundamental than biochemistry. Taking magnesium but staying out of the sun is pissing in the wind. The magnesium bros are ignorant of the physics of light frequencies and mitochondrial function, and too busy selling books and supplements to look into it. It seems to be easier and more profitable to simply convince people the key to health is buying things to put into your body, instead of educating people on what environment you ought to put your body into.
The whole article leads to "buy my product".
Well...who stays out of the sun? I used to because I was allergic to the sun, but I don't anymore and I do not know anyone that doesn't enjoy the outdoors. I think the success of utilizing magnesium supplements speaks for itself. If it requires mitochondrial water production to be utilized, then people must be getting exposure to full spectrum sunlight. There is also red light therapy that is very useful and can be used, but sunlight is cheaper...I never wear sunglasses so my eyes get maximum sun exposure where the sunlight is utilized by the body.
Also, magnesium can be utilized homeopathically in BioPlasma, 12 cell salts, or in the different homeopathic formulations. If magnesium is required by the body then the body must be able to acquire and utilize magnesium...I think the testimonies to the efficacy of that is proven over and over....I personally don't waste my time or money on things that don't work. One thing you learn when you do self care is how to read and understand your body...
Depression and mental disorders have existed long before junk light environments were a thing bu it does contribute...
