Any research done on this? Isn't there a correlation between Mg and Ca [homeostatic inverse balancing system]
Interestingly neurotransmitter release is caused/ regulation to a degree by Ca influx. Could a dysregulation of this sytem cause a global malfunction?
Far fetched maybe but worth asking.
Additionally Mg affects NMDA receptors and is supposedly being tried in some ADHD patients to prevent tolerance? The whole process has something to do with Ca ions, which, also, and VERY interestingly too is antagonized by most anti-epileptics which brings me to the whole new topic of calcium channel antagonists like Nimodipine and verapamil being used off-label in some affective diosrders.
Any comments?
