Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize limitations of magnesium research on causation
Most magnesium research shows only associations, not causation, because large randomized controlled trials are expensive and not funded.
Restore magnesium levels in drinking water for better health
Magnesium levels in our drinking water have fallen sharply due to modern processing like desalination, contributing to lower population-wide intake.
Improve diet before relying on magnesium supplements
The big mistake is taking a magnesium pill instead of improving your diet, as you miss out on the other benefits of whole foods.
Check elemental magnesium content before buying supplements
When buying supplements, check the 'elemental magnesium' amount, as it's only a small fraction of the total compound weight listed on the bottle.
Choose glycinate or taurate magnesium for optimal absorption and health benefits
Magnesium forms bound to an amino acid, such as glycinate and taurate, are well-absorbed and the amino acids themselves have health benefits.
Question magnesium L-threonate claims based on human trials
Despite its fame from animal studies, human trials for magnesium L-threonate show conflicting results and no significant improvement in memory or attention versus placebo.
