Magnesium

Magnesium is a crucial mineral with profound implications for preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum stages due to its diverse physiological functions. 

Magnesium and Fertility

In preconception, magnesium supports reproductive health by influencing hormonal regulation, aiding in the release of eggs during ovulation, and fostering a receptive uterine environment for conception. Deficiencies in magnesium may be associated with menstrual irregularities, potentially affecting fertility.

Magnesium and Pregnancy

During pregnancy, magnesium is essential for the structural development of the fetus. It plays a pivotal role in bone formation, teeth mineralization, and the proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Magnesium's involvement in the regulation of blood pressure is particularly significant in preventing complications like pre-eclampsia, a condition characterised by elevated blood pressure and organ damage during pregnancy. 

Additionally, magnesium supports energy production and helps alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts such as leg cramps.

Magnesium and Postpartum

In the postpartum period, magnesium continues to be vital for muscle recovery, nerve function, and hormonal balance. Adequate magnesium levels contribute to the prevention of postpartum muscle spasms and support the body's physiological adjustments during the transition from pregnancy to the postnatal state.
