How Magnesium and Vitamin D Are Reshaping Mental Health Care
18 Sep 2025
Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are widespread across the globe. In the U.S. alone, nearly one in five adults is affected by mental illness each year Magnesium plays a central role in brain function, mood regulation, and stress response; deficiency is common and linked to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, and cognitive decline Vitamin D directly influences brain chemistry and inflammation, supports dopamine production, and is frequently low in individuals with mood disorders These two nutrients work synergistically. Magnesium activates vitamin D, while vitamin D enhances magnesium absorption; co-supplementation provides greater mental health benefits than either alone The best way to increase vitamin D is through regular midday sun exposure, while magnesium is increased through supplementation with well-absorbed forms like glycinate, malate, or L-threonate
