Stress and magnesium deficiency are locked in a vicious cycle. Stress depletes your magnesium stores. And when magnesium is low, your body’s stress response becomes harder to control.

How Stress Drains Your Magnesium

When you experience stress, your body releases cortisol and adrenaline. These stress hormones cause your kidneys to excrete more magnesium than usual. The more stressed you are, the more magnesium you lose.

How Low Magnesium Makes Stress Worse

Magnesium is essential for regulating your stress response. Without enough, your body struggles to shut off the cortisol tap. You stay in a state of heightened alertness, sleep poorly, and feel anxious more easily. Muscle tension and headaches are classic signs of both stress and magnesium deficiency — because they’re often the same problem.
