If you are a runner, particularly one that trains for long-distance this is a very interesting read for you. Cyclists as well.
Supplementation of Magnesium 500mg/day for 7 days prior to a 10k mostly downhill event reduced muscle soreness. Most of us could use additional Magnesium as getting enough from our diets usually doesn’t cut it.
The Study:
One week of magnesium supplementation (500mg/day) lowers IL-6, muscle soreness and increases post-exercise blood glucose in response to downhill running. https://bit.ly/2plUgHv #runners #cycling #sportsnutrition #magnesiumsupplementation
