We aimed to understand the relationship between magnesium levels and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), shedding light on a critical nutrient’s role in brain health. To do this, we developed a unique analytical method to measure magnesium levels in the serum of both autistic and healthy children. Our approach used innovative technology involving fluorescent graphene quantum dots to detect magnesium, ensuring accuracy in our measurements.

Our findings revealed that children with ASD had significantly lower serum magnesium levels compared to their healthy peers. Specifically, they averaged 2.03 mg/dl of magnesium, while the healthy group had an average of 2.28 mg/dl. This noteworthy difference suggests a potential link between magnesium deficiency and ASD, indicating that enhancing magnesium levels might benefit autistic children.

Overall, our study emphasizes the importance of considering micronutrients like magnesium when addressing autism. While further research is necessary to fully understand the implications, our results provide a foundation for exploring magnesium supplementation as a supportive approach for those with autism spectrum disorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

7.5
Calming effect noted.
2 people found this helpful
Great magnesium! An easily digestible form for the brain, prescribed by a neurologist for my 8-year-old non-verbal child with severe autism. He cannot swallow capsules, so I dissolve them in water. The drug has a calming effect; he fell asleep immediately in the first few days. I give it every evening, although the price has increased significantly since I purchased it (approximately 1864 rubles in May 2021), which is why I rated it 4 stars. Please like if my review has helped.
7.5
Behavior improvement
As per the doctor's instructions, my 12-year-old child takes 2 capsules after dinner for autism. I've noticed significant behaviour improvements, with fewer outbursts.

Calms hyperactivity
Excellent! The medication is effective, but it’s essential to select the right dosage. My four-year-old son with autism became hyperactive with two capsules (as prescribed), but one capsule proved ideal, enhancing his concentration and making him calmer.

My child, who has autism, is 5 years old (calm yet irritable) and also has mitochondrial issues. This form of magnesium was recommended. We are using it alongside other medications. He has become a bit more cheerful and less irritable. We take one capsule per day and ordered two jars.
