Magnesium Bisglycinate Supplementation in Healthy Adults Reporting Poor Sleep: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

RCTn = 155Sleep

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the effects of magnesium bisglycinate supplementation on insomnia symptoms in 155 adults with poor sleep quality. The magnesium group showed a significantly greater reduction in Insomnia Severity Index scores compared to placebo, indicating a modest benefit.

Association between Serum Magnesium Level and Depression in Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors Treated Major Depressive Disorder Patients

RCTn = 90Mood

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Bangladesh studied the effect of magnesium glycinate supplementation on depression in patients with major depressive disorder treated with SSRIs. The study found that increased serum magnesium levels were associated with decreased depression scores over 8 weeks.

The effect of combined magnesium and vitamin D supplementation on vitamin D status, systemic inflammation, and blood pressure: A randomized double-blinded controlled trial.

RCTn = 95Heart Health Inflammation -Nutrition

This 12-week double-blinded randomized controlled trial compared the effects of combined magnesium and vitamin D supplementation versus vitamin D alone on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, blood pressure, and inflammation in 95 overweight and obese participants. The combined supplementation group showed a greater increase in serum 25OHD and a decrease in systolic blood pressure for those with high baseline levels, but no significant effects on inflammation markers.

Effect of chronic administration of magnesium supplement (magnesium glycinate) on male albino wistar rats’ intestinal (Ileum) motility, body weight changes, food and water intake

Animal studyn = 10

Animal study on the effects of chronic administration of magnesium glycinate on intestinal motility in male albino Wistar rats. Magnesium decreased motility of the intestine through the beta adrenergic receptor pathway, with significant differences in ileum contractions compared to the control group.

A Challenging Case of Hypercalcemia Caused by a Novel Homozygous Variant Missense Mutation in theGene.

Case report

Case report of a 26-year-old male with persistent hypercalcemia due to a novel homozygous missense pathogenic variant affecting vitamin D metabolism. The patient was treated with fluconazole and magnesium glycinate, resulting in a reduction of calcium levels from 12.7 mg/dL to 9.4 mg/dL over 3 months.
