Elite athletes obsess over recovery. Yet one of the most effective and underused recovery tools is also one of the simplest: magnesium.

What Happens to Magnesium During Exercise

Physical exertion increases your magnesium requirement by up to 20%. Your muscles consume magnesium rapidly during contraction, and you lose significant amounts through sweat. Low magnesium means muscles fatigue faster, cramp more easily, and take longer to repair.

What Magnesium Does for Recovery

Reduces muscle cramps: Magnesium regulates muscle contraction and nerve signalling, preventing the involuntary contractions that cause cramping.

Speeds muscle repair: Magnesium activates over 300 enzymes involved in protein synthesis and energy production.

Improves sleep depth: Magnesium activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Athletes with higher magnesium levels spend more time in deep, restorative sleep — where growth hormone release and muscle repair peak.

How to Use Midas Magnesium for Recovery
