Micronutrients & recovery
Magnesium deficiency is mechanistically linked to cellular calcium activation, which drives inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and vascular calcification via TRPM channels.
Maintaining adequate magnesium intake helps regulate calcium at the cellular level, potentially reducing inflammation and vascular stiffness. This is achieved through a balanced diet rich in magnesium.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Cellular magnesium deficit, perhaps involving TRPM6/7 channels, elicits calcium-activated injury or pathogens... Magnesium appears to negatively regulate vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation through increased/restored TRPM7 activity...
Why this rating
Based on animal studies, in vitro studies, and genetic observations.
