It has also been shown to help balance oil levels and is important for aiding in the hydration of your skin cells.
For Hormone Balance
Magnesium is used in the production and balancing of the all of the steroid hormones including DHEA, Testosterone, Progesterone, and Oestrogen. It is also vital for the formation of the thyroid hormones leading to optimal thyroid function. You must to have healthy magnesium levels to have balanced hormones.
For Stress
Magnesium’s role in easing stress levels is possibly the most important role it plays for us today. It helps to breakdown cortisol (the main stress hormone), limits it’s production, blocks the uptake of cortisol by the brain, improves sleep, and calms the brain by blocking the binding of a stimulating neurotransmitter (Glutamate) to NDMA receptors. Because of all of these functions; stress significantly depletes magnesium because it is used in such large quantities to try and help the body ‘destress’ itself.
