Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the importance of magnesium in the physiological processes of the human body and list the consequences of its deficiency. This is a literature review study, as it contributes to the process of systematization and analysis of results, aiming to understand a certain topic, based on other independent studies. It was demonstrated that in adults, magnesium improved mood, anxiety, and quality of life and, there was a significant improvement in baseline depression and anxiety scores. These clinical data support magnesium as a treatment to improve stress-related mental health in individuals with suboptimal magnesium. Several studies have discussed the neuroprotective effect of magnesium in different types of paresthesia and neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, migraines, Parkinson's disease, and even psychiatric diseases such as ADHD in children. In short, magnesium must be considered as a real metabolite since its deficiency has a great impact on different physiological functions.
