A common over-the-counter supplement, magnesium, could be a key aid in the fight against depression, according to new findings.

Sometimes people say they’re depressed just because they’ve felt sad at some point in their lives.

However, most times, people just need to learn the difference between depression and a fleeting moment of sadness such as the death of a loved one. If you have these very intense feelings for a long period of time (months or even years) then it might be depression.

Depression is considered to be a disease that appears due to various reasons: biological, psychological, and social. There are several treatments and medications that are prescribed depending on each case.

The good news is that there are natural ways to treat depression according to a study performed in 2017 which analyzed the efficiency of magnesium in depression medication.

The study showed that magnesium supplements can improve depression symptoms drastically in just 2 weeks without any of the side effects common in depression medications.

Magnesium is also the key to the correct functioning of numerous other parts of our body. If we could observe our cells more closely, it would be easier to understand that this nutrient is needed for over 300 of our body’s biochemical reactions.
