The role of vitamins and minerals in energy metabolism and well-being – Huskisson et al. 2007
A review of the literature identified an important group at risk of inadequate micronutrient intake: young adults, often women, with a demanding lifestyle who are physically active. Micronutrient supplementation can alleviate deficiencies, but supplements must be taken for an adequate period of time.
Can Magnesium Enhance Exercise Performance – Zhang et al. 2017
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in the human body. It takes part in the process of energy metabolism and assists the maintenance of normal muscle function. A number of studies evaluated the association between Mg status/supplementation and exercise performance and found that the need for Mg increased as individuals’ physical activity level went up.
Vitamins and Minerals for Energy, Fatigue and Cognition – Tardy et al. 2020
There is a strong biological and physiological rationale that indicates that the long-known involvement of vitamins and minerals in cellular energy production translates into functional and physiological outcomes in humans, including perceived physical and mental fatigue as well as psychological and cognitive functions.
Superiority of magnesium and vitamin B6 over magnesium alone on severe stress in healthy adults with low magnesemia – Pouteau et al. 2018
Animal and clinical studies suggest complementary effects of magnesium and high-dose pyridoxine (vitamin B6) on stress reduction. Magnesium plays an essential physiological role in the body as an enzymatic cofactor in over 600 biochemical reactions. Low serum magnesium concentrations increase the release of stress-associated and affect their access to the brain.
