Magnesium Makes Fasting EASIER and more EFFECTIVE – Thomas DeLauer

During a prolonged fast, your kidneys can excrete magnesium quite quickly – in a study from the The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the kidneys of participants on a 2 month fast, were excreting magnesium at a rate 4-5 times higher than normal

The average magnesium loss per day when it comes to fasting (typically) ranges from ~80mg to ~200mg (per The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, respectively)

Magnesium & Norepinephrine & Epinephrine

Per a study in the Journal Hypertension, magnesium blocks mainly N-type calcium channels at nerve endings, and thus inhibits norepinephrine release, which decreases blood pressure

Another study, published in Anesthesiology, found that magnesium inhibits the hypertensive but not the cardiotonic actions of low-dose epinephrine

In 11 patients, infusion of magnesium increased serum magnesium concentrations by 44%, but had no significant effect on heart rate; mean arterial, central venous, or pulmonary arterial occlusion pressures; or cardiac output

However, magnesium significantly blunted epinephrine’s hypertensive action and prevented a significant increase in mean arterial pressure during concurrent MgSO4-epinephrine administration.

Norepinephrine vs Epinephrine

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine acts mostly on alpha receptors, although it does stimulate beta receptors to a certain degree

Epinephrine

Epinephrine is relatively nonspecific, stimulating both alpha, beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3 receptors more or less equally – epinephrine activates changes that are designed to increase energy use (i.e. break down fat tissue)
