Magnesium is a powerful mineral needed by hundreds of enzymes, including those that help regulate blood sugar metabolism. A new study of 17,592 individuals over a 5-year period showed that as magnesium intake went down the risk of type 2 diabetes went up.
Magnesium is known to help offset inflammatory distress, a key factor that interferes with healthy blood sugar metabolism. Magnesium, like DHA, help to boost the production of the fat-hormone adiponectin which is absolutely essential for healthy blood sugar function and not developing insulin resistance that otherwise leads to type 2 diabetes.
When we look at basic nutrients for good blood sugar health, magnesium is part of the foundation. You need at least 400 mg a day for general blood sugar health, possibly double that if you are already having metabolic problems.
