Magnesium contributes to proper muscle function. It also supports metabolism, meaning the ability to derive energy from protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Magnesium helps normalize blood pressure and fasting blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while also reducing blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and triglycerides in metabolic syndrome. Magnesium requirements can be increased by stress, an unbalanced diet, coffee and alcohol consumption, and certain medications such as proton pump inhibitors. Therefore, it can be difficult to meet the body's daily magnesium needs through diet alone.

In a randomized controlled trial, healthy older women were assigned to a treatment group receiving 300 mg of magnesium per day or a control group. After 12 weeks, the treated group showed significant improvements in physical performance compared to the control group. The authors concluded that supplementation may play a role in preventing age-related physical decline. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showed that supplementing with 300 mg of magnesium bisglycinate per day for four weeks decreased the frequency and intensity of leg cramps caused by pregnancy. Magnesium is an important factor in muscle mass and repair, and has been shown to relieve muscle cramps from various causes.
