Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous biochemical processes, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, and regulation of blood sugar levels. Its use to treat or support fatigue is largely based on its role in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis, the primary energy molecule in the body. Scientific studies have shown that magnesium deficiency can lead to symptoms such as tiredness, muscle weakness, and fatigue. Correction of magnesium deficiency through supplementation has been demonstrated to reduce fatigue in certain populations, such as those with documented deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, or in athletes experiencing physical fatigue due to intense exercise. However, the evidence supporting magnesium supplementation for general fatigue in otherwise healthy individuals with normal magnesium levels is limited and inconsistent. Several randomized controlled trials indicate a benefit for fatigue in specific groups (e.g., patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or older adults), but larger and more rigorous studies are needed to generalize these findings. In summary, while there is scientific rationale and some evidence supporting the use of magnesium for fatigue, particularly where deficiency is present, the overall quality and quantity of evidence is moderate and does not strongly support widespread use for fatigue in the absence of deficiency.
