Summary
A 90-day randomized controlled study found that daily magnesium supplementation (400mg) significantly improved HRV parameters and reduced stress markers in adults experiencing mental and physical stress.
Methods
Randomized controlled trial, 100 participants, 90-day intervention
Key Findings
- pNN50 (parasympathetic indicator) significantly increased
- LF/HF ratio and stress index decreased
- 400mg daily magnesium showed clear benefits
- Effects emerged over weeks of consistent supplementation
Limitations
Single study, specific population with existing stress
What This Means for You
Magnesium supplementation (400mg daily) may help improve HRV, particularly in people experiencing chronic stress. Consider magnesium glycinate or citrate forms for better absorption.
