Do endurance athletes require more magnesium?Updated 4 months ago

Athletes require more. Full stop.

Just like macronutrients - protein, carbohydrates, and fats - are required at greater levels for athletes, this same exists for micronutrients.

Magnesium is depleted through sweat, urination, and lipolysis; all incurring at greater levels when undertaking exercise. Therefore, those participating in endurance type activity need to be aware that they deplete magnesium at far greater rates than sedentary people on average.
