  1. BENEFITS OF ORAL MAGNESIUM IN ADOLESCENT CONCUSSION TREATMENT Oral magnesium supplementation offers several potential benefits for adolescent concussion treatment, given magnesium’s critical role in brain health, neuroprotection, and recovery. www.concussionspoteducation.com

  2. SUPPORTS NEUROPROTECTION AND RECOVERY Magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters and reduces excitotoxicity, which is excessive neuronal firing caused by an overabundance of glutamate after a concussion. 1 It stabilizes neuronal cell membranes, preventing further damage post-injury. 2

  3. REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS Magnesium has anti-inflammatory properties that can help control neuroinflammation, which contributes to prolonged concussion symptoms. 1 It helps reduce oxidative stress by supporting the body's natural antioxidant defense systems. 2

  4. AIDS IN ENERGY PRODUCTION AND METABOLISM 01 After a concussion, brain energy metabolism is often disrupted. Magnesium is a cofactor in ATP (energy) production, helping restore proper brain function. 02 It supports mitochondrial function, which is crucial for energy production and recovery.

  5. IMPROVES SLEEP AND REDUCES HEADACHE SYMPTOMS Concussions can lead to sleep disturbances, and magnesium has been shown to improve sleep quality by regulating melatonin and calming the nervous system. Magnesium deficiency is linked to migraines and headaches, which are common post-concussion symptoms. Supplementation may help reduce headache frequency and intensity.

  6. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDICINE? 1 Post-concussion symptoms often include brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes. Magnesium supports cognitive clarity by regulating synaptic plasticity. It also plays a role in stress regulation by balancing cortisol and improving resilience to post-concussion anxiety or depression. 2

  7. Helps with Muscle Relaxation and Reduces Dizziness Magnesium can help alleviate post-concussion muscle tension and tightness, particularly in the neck and shoulders, which can contribute to headaches. 1 It aids in vestibular function, potentially reducing dizziness and balance issues common in concussed adolescents. 2

  8. MAY SHORTEN RECOVERY TIME Research suggests that magnesium depletion post-concussion can prolong recovery. Ensuring adequate magnesium intake may help speed up symptom resolution and return to normal activities.

  9. SOURCES OF MAGNESIUM FOR ADOLESCENTS 1 Dietary sources: Green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, avocados, and bananas. Supplement forms: Magnesium glycinate (best for brain health), magnesium citrate (for absorption), and magnesium threonate (crosses the blood-brain barrier). 2

  10. ORAL MAGNESIUM IN ADOLESCENT CONCUSSION TREATMENT Oral Magnesium in Adolescent Concussion Treatment supports brain recovery, reduces inflammation, and alleviates symptoms like headaches and sleep disturbances. With its neuroprotective benefits, magnesium supplementation can aid healing and improve well-being when used under medical guidance.
