Effect of magnesium and vitamin B6 supplementation on mental health and quality of life in stressed healthy adults: Postâhoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial
Magnesium status and vitamin B6 intake have been linked to mental health and/or quality of life (QoL). In an 8âweek Phase IV randomised controlled study in individuals with low magnesemia and severe/extremely severe stress but who were otherwise healthy, greater stress reduction was achieved with magnesium combined with vitamin B6 than with magnesium alone. We present a previously unreported secondary analysis of the effect of magnesium, with and without vitamin B6, on depression, anxiety, and QoL. Adults with Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASSâ42) stress subscale score >18 were randomised 1:1 to magnesium + vitamin B6 combination (Magne B6ÂŽ; daily dose 300 and 30 mg, respectively) or magnesium alone (MagnespasmylÂŽ; daily dose 300 mg). Outcomes included changes from baseline in DASSâ42 depression and anxiety scores, and QoL (Short Formâ36 Health Survey). DASSâ42 anxiety and depression scores significantly improved from baseline to week 8 with both treatments, particularly during the first 4 weeks. Improvement in QoL continued over 8 weeks. Participants' perceived capacity for physical activity in daily life showed greater improvement with magnesium + vitamin B6 than magnesium alone (Week 4). In conclusion, magnesium supplementation, with or without vitamin B6, could provide a meaningful clinical benefit in daily life for individuals with stress and low magnesemia
