Magnesium

Magnesium: Professor Akim Bouterra's guidance, complemented by what the science says (magnesium), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

Magnesium is a highly beneficial mineral that boosts energy, supports the proper functioning of the body, and is an excellent anti-stress agent. It is also effective against muscle cramps, heart palpitations, and tendinitis; it also regulates the nervous system.

Magnesium is also useful for fighting sleep disorders and promoting concentration. In addition, it will be an ally for women when facing premenstrual syndrome.

Finally, we should not forget to mention magnesium as one of the main contributors to maintaining bone health, just like calcium.

What the science says: magnesium

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context—these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Magnesium

Magnesium modestly lowers blood pressure according to several meta-analyses (Hypertension, 2016) (Hypertension, 2025), reduces the frequency of migraines (Pain Physician, 2016) and plays a role in muscle cramps (J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact, 2021). Almonds, sesame, green vegetables, dark chocolate, and mineral waters provide it. Precaution: the bisglycinate or citrate forms are better tolerated; magnesium oxide is laxative; caution is advised in cases of kidney failure.
