@behind_the_mind_: People with ADHD in this meta-analysis tended to have lower magnesium levels than those without ADHD, but the difference was relatively modest and does not prove that magnesium deficiency causes ADHD. Researchers aren't sure why this association exists, but theories include magnesium's role in brain signaling, chronic stress, dietary differences, or shared biological factors. As always, correlation does not equal causation, but it's an interesting area of research worth exploring further. #ADHD #ADHDAwareness #Neurodiversity #MentalHealthResearch Study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165178118318456?via%3Dihub Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

Did they specify a type of magnesium?

I don't know enough about this but isn't there a lack of randomised controlled trials with magnesium, meaning we can't see if its a placebo

i've looked into this quite a bit and it's so interesting to see how often this pops up in so many different conditions! it does make sense once you dive deeper into the roles it has in so many different systems, but still. personally, i take magnesium l-threonate, which does actually help a bit! (although i don't know if it's on account of the adhd, TRD, fibromyalgia, a combo, or separately)

I haven’t noticed a difference from magnesium supplementation on my ADHD, but it cut my migraines by half

This is why magnesium feels like it collects my thoughts a bit 🤔

I'm always dehydrated so I got me some electrolyte powder but switched brand on rec of my medical provider. The blend they suggested has high levels of magnesium as opposed to my previous brand which had none. The other minerals were the same. And you know what, It did help tremendously! So maybe the study (and my gp) are onto something !

Eyeballz 👀🏴 :
If serum magnesium is normal in most people and only small amounts are found in the blood how can any study verify that Mg is low if blood isn’t the correct mechanism of measurement

I was just reading this study after seeing someone use it to try and sell Magnesium as a treatment for ADHd 😂. Thanks for covering this
