Well, I thought it was Adenosine Triphosphate, but I was surprised that Magnesium reduces ATP.
I interpret that as saying that the more Magnesium you have in your body, the less energy you have. Also, the less energy you have, the less anxiety you feel. That sounds wrong to me, although I can't explain why.
Am I confused? What am I missing?
- Sharlin 6y agoOh, yes, I did wonder about that as well. Would like to know more.
- aantix 6y agoThat's how I interpreted it as well. This is how I understand the anxiolytic effect of mg works: >It acts as the gatekeeper for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which are found on your nerve cells and aid brain development, memory and learning. >In healthy adults, magnesium sits inside the NMDA receptors, preventing them from being triggered by weak signals that may stimulate your nerve cells unnecessarily. >When your magnesium levels are low, fewer NMDA receptors are blocked. This means they are prone to being stimulated more often than necessary. Maybe this is why I experience more rumination without magnesium? https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-does-magnesium-do#2 https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-does-magnesium-do#...
- elbear 6y agoBut that sounds different. It doesn't sound like it reduces the level of ATP, but that it reduces overstimulation.
