It's important that I am honest and to say that this video does have a sponsorship from Magic Spoon, supporting them is a good way to support my channel!

I always want to make things easier for you. Give you information that you can take with you throughout your day to help your lifestyle. From cooking to your workouts to your post workouts. In this video, I'm talking taking magnesium after a workout. Is it the best time? When is the best time? Let's dive in and I'll see you in the COMMENTS!!

Magnesium: 

One of the central ways to maximize our mitochondria is by making them more efficient at generating ATP. As shown by study conducted by Di Meo et al. (2001), intense training sessions (mainly aerobic exercise) induce oxidative stress and subsequently harm our mitochondria. 

However, this effect is only short-lasting and our mitochondria are able to self-repair and can easily fix the damage done to them by utilising magnesium-dependent enzymes (such as various protein kinases and ATPases). After healing, the mitochondria will come out even stronger and will have stronger functional properties (larger matrix etc.), as shown by Ashley et al. (2019). 

In the long term, high-intensity training (especially endurance training) can lead to an increased mitochondria density if supported by an appropriate diet. In order to synthesise new mitochondria, the body needs magnesium as a cofactor to catalyse and enhance biochemical reactions. It is difficult to see metabolic improvements that are linked to an enhanced oxidative capacity without adequate levels of intracellular magnesium. If we don't have sufficient magnesium levels, our oxidative capacity will decline due to a reduction in the rate of repair of mitochondria.

According to Yamanaka et al. (2016), dysregulation of Mg2+ homeostasis is also associated with various cellular malfunctions and diseases. The Mg2+ transporter, located on the inner mitochondrial membrane (MRS2), is an essential component of the mitochondrial Mg2+ uptake system. MRS2 knockdown in mice significantly disrupted ATP production via a shift of mitochondrial energy metabolism and morphology. 

Furthermore, MRS2 knockdown sensitised cellular tolerance against cellular stress. Moreover, as ATP production is crucial for nearly all wound-healing process, maintaining good magnesium levels is essential to decrease wound healing time.

Overall, magnesium shows to be an essential component of ATP production and plays a critical role in mitochondrial energy metabolism and morphology.
