If I remember right, magnesium supports production of a range of neurotransmitters, including those involved in dealing with stress. Specifically I believe it supports the metabolic processes involved in regulating the nervous system. I believe there have even been studies finding people with certain mental health conditions known to cause stress have chronically low magnesium levels. But yeah it's an essential mineral and these days they don't feed the plants that grow food minerals as often as they used to. They feed them nitrogen but not necessarily minerals!
