Effect of magnesium on functional outcome and paraclinical parameters of patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy for brain tumors: a randomized controlled trial.
We examined how intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) affects patients undergoing surgery for brain tumors. Sixty patients were divided into two groups: one received magnesium treatment, while the other received a placebo.
The results showed that magnesium lowered significant protein levels linked to brain injury after surgery. However, it didn’t substantially change the overall functional outcomes for the patients. While MgSO4 appears safe and beneficial in reducing specific markers, more research is necessary to fully grasp magnesium's role in brain injury recovery.

Magnesium's role in brain tumor treatment
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in an oncological normotensive patient: evidence for a pathogenic role of concomitant low magnesium serum levels and chemotherapy treatment.
We explored the relationship between low magnesium levels and the development of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a patient with advanced breast cancer. After treatment with diuretics and chemotherapy, this patient experienced serious neurological symptoms alongside low magnesium levels.
Following intravenous magnesium supplementation, the patient showed remarkable improvement within 18 hours. This suggests that low magnesium, potentially linked to her treatment regimens, might have played a role in her condition. Thus, monitoring magnesium levels could be crucial in cancer care.
We explored how magnesium sulfide nanoparticles (MgS NPs) affect the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line, which is a significant challenge in treating brain cancer. Using a green synthesis method, we created MgS NPs and tested their effects in cultured cells.
When applied at various doses, we observed that 75 µg/mL MgS NPs reduced cancer cell viability by nearly half. The treatment also increased oxidant levels in the cells, aligning with our findings from cytotoxicity tests. Overall, it appears that MgS NPs effectively hinder the growth of neuroblastoma cells.

Reduced anxiety
14 people found this helpful
After 1.5 months, I’m pleased with this magnesium. I often struggle with mild anxiety, particularly in social situations. After taking this magnesium, I experienced complete clarity of mind; I must have had a deficiency in my diet. Though I previously tried Magne B6 forte with limited effect, I found this product successful. I did experience diarrhoea when taking two tablets at once, but splitting the doses resolved this issue. My parents take magnesium without complaints, so I believe my reaction is individual. Overall, I will order it frequently, as it significantly reduces my anxiety and stress levels. Unlike sedatives, magnesium appears to support mental clarity. Please remember to research before trying any dietary supplement.

Promotes relaxation

I researched essential minerals and chose magnesium for its relaxing properties. I opted for Solgar’s citrate form, known for its bioavailability. Taking half a tablet at night, I quickly felt a pleasant ease in my limbs and it relaxed my brain, making it easier to sleep more soundly. When I took a full tablet on busy days, the relaxing effect intensified. I have not noticed any negative effects on my gastrointestinal tract so far.
