🧬✨ 6 SIGNS YOUR BODY IS CRAVING MAGNESIUM ✨🧬
If you have +2 of these symptoms...
- THREAD -
You ARE SCREWED.
You see from all nutrients needed by the body, by FAR magnesium:
- Has the biggest impact & ROI
- Is the most involved (+1K enzimatic processes)
- And is the most important one
In this thread Alli will reveal you 7 BIG symptoms of MAG DEFICIENCY.
Ready? Listo?
Yo también. LES. GOOOOO.
1) ANXIETY & DEPRESSION ☔️
If you’ve been feeling low recently...
You NEED (and are really craving) MAGNESIUM NOW.
Of all neurotransmitters, there are 2 that have an ENORMOUS impact on:
- Your Sleep
- And your Mood
1. G.A.B.A., which will...
- Relax
- Calm
- And “slow down” your nervous system and mind
2. GLUTAMATE, which will...
- Excite you
- Trigger Overthinking
- Raise awareness & that “wake” feeling (like insomnia)
Guess which one will cause you ANXIETY and DEPRESSION?
YEP. GLUTAMATE. So how does mag helps?
• Magnesium BLOCKS the GLUTAMATE receptors (NMDA),
hence deactivating & inhibiting it’s exciting effects
letting you relax, buT ALSO!...
• Mag triggers GABA, it binds to its receptors and ACTIVATES them & converts GLUTAMATE into GABA
hence, a Mag deficiency will cause your BRAIN to stay in that “ON” & wired mode,
AKA:
Glutamate dominant mode
The result?
ANXIETY. DEPRESSION. WEAKNESS.
But also...
2) INSOMNIA/SLEEP ISSUES 🌙
If your brain is rushing, overthinking & unable to turn itself off...
(thx to high glutamate)
Do you think that it’ll let you sleep & relax?
yea neither do i
Also,
Magnesium is ESSENTIAL for ACTIVATING...
- THE VAGUS NERVE
A key part of your Parasympathetic Nervous System
AKA: the part of your NS that relaxes u, lowers stress hormones & makes u feel good m8
when the Vagus Nerve gets activated, the PNS gets activated too
and vice versa. they’re like homies. one is not ok without the other.
so if there’s low MAG
your body will have a pretty hard time trying to ACTIVATE the PNS & VN
So combine:
- Low GABA
- High Glutamate
- Low Vagus Nerve & PNS Activity
CONGRATS! You have the perfect recipe for anxiety & insomnia 😸👍👍👍👍
And also, for...
3) FATIGUE or easily fatigued 🥱
What you call “ATP” or “ENERGY”, in reality is...
“Mag-ATP”!!
The USEFUL & BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE ATP...
ITS BINDED TO MAGNESIUM.
When MAG it’s binded to ATP...
Allows ATP to chelate (“join”) to proteins, enzymes & cells.
Hence, allowing ATP to do its job; provide cellular energy
In sinple words
Magnesium allows ATP to work
So you’re not fatigued.
YOU ARE MAGNESIUM DEFICIENT.
4) VITAMIN D & CALCIUM DEFICIENCY
wait whAT?
You are supplementing with Hormone D but... aren’t seeing its miracles?
Here’s why:
YOU. ARE. MAGNESIUM. DEFICIENT. 😡😡😡😡
(yeah vitamin d is an hormone wow)
Magnesium ACTIVATES:
- 25-hydroxylase
- 1 Alpha Hydroxylase
- 24-hydroxylase
AKA: Enzymes that convert Vitamin D to its USEFUL & ACTIVE FORM
And Vitamin D allows Calcium to be absorbed, so
double trouble amigo 😂👎👎👎👎
It won’t matter how much Vit D or Calcium you’re getting
LOW MAGNESIUM
WILL ALWAYS MEAN LOW VITAMIN D & CALCIUM
That’s why in research papers Vit. D supps don’t raise VitD levels
ps:
will make another thread on vit D deficiency symptoms,

5) MUSCLE CRAMPS, HBP, HEADACHES, ARRHYTMIAS, 🩸💪
This is a sinple one
Your muscle cells use CALCIUM as a cofactors for energetic functions, such as...
- Nerve Impulses
- Cell transportation
- Muscle contractions (!!!)
Since Ca is EXCITATORY...
It’ll ONLY enter to your cells when required for a specific action (i.e. muscle contraction 💪)
After that takes place
- MAGNESIUM activates Calcium TRANSPORTERS to pump it out of the cell
bUT!
If you don’t have enough MAG...
Calcium will stay there.
Over exciting your muscle cells.
Causing a beautiful CRAMP.
It also can cause arrhytmias and high blood pressure & headaches
Since MAG is a vasodilator & lets muscle relax
6) ASTHMA/RESPIRATORY ISSUES 🫁
For the same reason mentioned above (calcium & vasodilation)
But also, since MAG
Is a BRONCHODILATOR (relaxes lung’s muscles), which will increase air & 🩸 flow to your lungs,
hence improving its function
and another reason that mag can cause DEPRESSION & INSOMNIA is that
it ENHANCES SEROTONIN & MELATONIN production
Since it supports its production cycle, @drjamesdinic:
“ok prince Alli, i’m mg deficient. best food sources?”
- CACAO (150-200mg in 30g)
- HEMP SEEDS (300mg in 30g!!)
- SPIRULLINA & CHLORELLA (don’t know but they’re in the same range as hemp & cacao)
- COOKED (!!!) LEAFY GREENS
If don’t cooked, they’ll have OXALATES & PHYTATES
which will fuck mag & other minerals absorption
and your gut & kidneys too
other considerable sources are
avocado, tuna, seafood, pumpkin seeds, beets,
“king Alli, screw eating I want a supp”
