Slowed cognition: There is some evidence that increasing testosterone levels can help with cognition, specifically mental processing speed and memory. If you notice that you have âbrain fog,â slowed thinking speed, and slight dips in memory, this may be part of withdrawal.
Magnesium regulates our electrolyte balance. Within every cell in the body, a proper balance of mineral content must be maintained. Magnesiumâs role in the healthy balance (âhomeostasisâ) of important minerals such as calcium, sodium and potassium affects the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and heart rhythms.
Calcium and magnesium work together to control muscle contraction. Both minerals interact with the proteins actin and myosin -- structural proteins that shorten with each muscle contraction, then lengthen to relax your muscles.ctin and myosin rely on calcium to shorten and contract your muscles, then rely on magnesium to relax after a contraction. While low calcium levels primarily affect your bones -- causing bone loss and putting you at risk for osteoporosis -- magnesium deficiency affects your muscles, causing abnormal muscle contraction.
