Factors That Interfere with Magnesium Absorption - P4

4️⃣ Medications
Diuretics (e.g., furosemide), proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole), and antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline) can deplete magnesium.

5️⃣ Vitamin D deficiency
Vitamin D is essential for magnesium absorption.

Factors That Interfere with Magnesium Absorption - P3

3️⃣ Alcohol and Caffeine Consumption
In excess both could disrupt magnesium absorption and increases its loss through urine.

Factors That Interfere with Magnesium Absorption - P2

2️⃣ Oxalates (in Spinach, Rhubarb, and Beets)
Oxalates bind to magnesium, forming insoluble compounds that the body can’t absorb.
Tip: Consume these cooked or pair these foods with vitamin C to enhance magnesium absorption.

Factors That Interfere with Magnesium Absorption

1️⃣ Phytic Acid (in Grains and Legumes)
Found in whole grains, seeds, and legumes, phytic acid binds to magnesium and other minerals, reducing their bioavailability.
Tip: Soak or sprout grains and legumes to reduce phytic acid content.

Why Magnesium Is Key for Metabolic Health - P2

3️⃣ Boosts Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
Magnesium supports thyroid function, which drives your metabolism.

4️⃣ Reduces Inflammation:
Magnesium lowers inflammatory markers like hs-CRP, which are often elevated in metabolic syndrome and obesity.

Why Magnesium Is Key for Metabolic Health

1️⃣ Insulin Resistance:
Low magnesium makes cells less responsive to insulin, driving fat storage and making weight loss much harder.

2️⃣ Hunger Suppression:
Magnesium stimulates the CCK hormone (cholecystokinin), which signals fullness and curbs overeating.
