Magnesium
Magnesium is a co-factor in hundreds of important processes in the body and plays a key role in maintaining optimal energy production, heart health, digestion, detoxification, bone strength, mood and more.
Of specific importance to those following a muscle building and fat loss program are its effects on keeping testosterone and IGF-1 levels elevated, as well as improving muscular performance and sleep quality. [29-36]
Since magnesium is depleted from the body through sweat, those who regularly perform intensive weight training, cardio and other physical activities tend to have lower levels that can be improved through supplementation. [37-38]
Although many standard multivitamins do include magnesium in their formulas, it’s often dosed at a fraction of the recommended 200-400mg intake and/or is present in a cheaper, lower quality form such as magnesium oxide. [39-40]
