We explored how magnesium affects our immune response, particularly in relation to fighting off influenza. By examining how magnesium levels influence T cell function, we noticed that lower levels of magnesium in the body could hinder the T cell receptor (TCR) activation process. This is significant because TCR activation is crucial for mounting an effective immune response against viruses like influenza.

Our findings revealed that insufficient magnesium decreases the activation of important immune cells, specifically CD8 T cells, which are vital for responding to infections. This was further demonstrated in mice where reduced serum magnesium concentrations led to weaker immune responses and more severe illness from influenza A virus.

Overall, we observed that magnesium not only serves as an essential cofactor in cellular processes but also plays a direct role in maintaining strong immune function. Ensuring an adequate intake of magnesium is therefore important for enhancing our ability to combat viral infections effectively.

Effective for sleep
After suffering from the flu, I struggled with sleep. Doctors often overlook the reasons behind issues, so I decided to try magnesium in a chelate formula. After two weeks, my sleep improved. Although the taste isn't pleasant, I managed to drink it with something sweet. I highly recommend it.

Helps stomach healing
Great for my stomach issues; I had very painful reflux and gastritis. This helped heal my stomach and gave my body the power it needed to aid in a speedy recovery.
