Magnesium & Muscles: Magnesium Builds & Repairs Your Muscles

(BUILDING MUSCLE IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT MAGNESIUM)

How magnesium is needed for the functional aspects of our muscles. You’ve learned that magnesium is needed to:

• make energy for our muscles (ATP)
• facilitate the creatine pathway (and supplementation benefits)
• contract and relax your muscles
• activate your muscles via your nerves so they can contract and relax

The fact that all these aspects in muscular function are magnesium-dependent is already proof that magnesium is the single most essential nutrient for muscular health and performance. But there is still another aspect of the muscular system that depends on magnesium: its structure.

Today we learn about how your muscle cells convert the protein you eat into actual muscle tissue for recovery and new growth. 

Magnesium Builds Muscle

We all know we need protein in order to build and repair our muscles. The reason is simple: muscles are made of protein. But what is the actual mechanism of how your body converts the protein you eat into your own muscle tissue?  When we look closely at this mechanism, it becomes very clear, very quickly that this process is biologically impossible without magnesium.

That’s right. For all the gym goers, weight lifters and athletes looking to build muscle: the protein shakes you consume after your workouts still need magnesium in order to be converted into new muscle tissue!

Now let’s look at this mechanism of turning dietary protein into muscle tissue from the very beginning, after we’ve eaten the protein:

From Dietary Protein To Human Muscle Tissue

After your digestive system breaks dietary protein down into single building blocks called amino acids, they pass through your small intestine’s wall into your bloodstream.

When your pancreas senses this rise of amino acids in your blood stream, it releases insulin into your bloodstream to accompany these protein building blocks. (Contrary to popular belief, both glucose and amino acids stimulate insulin production/secretion – not only glucose.)

Insulin then allows your muscle cells to absorb these amino acids where the new muscle-building process begins and the amino acids are once again assembled into human-specific muscle proteins. Even the act of producing insulin, and insulin exerting its absorptive effect on your muscle cells – these are both biological events that require magnesium.

However let’s move on to the actual mechanism of converting amino acids into muscle proteins which takes place once the amino acids have been absorbed by the muscle cell:

The process is called muscle protein synthesis. The term is actually self explanatory. It is the synthesis(creation) of muscle proteins – the types of proteins that muscle is made of.

This is simply a more muscle-specific version of the human vital process of protein synthesis. Watch this video below to learn how all cells in your body, including your muscle cells, perform protein synthesis:

Magnesium & Muscle Protein Synthesis

As you learned in the video, the process of protein synthesis has two major phases:

Phase 1 : Preparation of genetic instructions – In this first phase, several DNA enzymes including the major one (RNA polymerase) are involved in copying a section of DNA/genes. Once copied, these genes are then converted into a readable set of instructions for the muscle cell to use in order to make a protein. This set of instructions basically tells the cell which amino acids to put together in what order to make the protein. 

Magnesium is critical to this process because all the DNA enzymes required for this process – including RNA poymerase – are biologcially dependent on magnesium. They need magnesium to function!

Phase 2: Assembling the amino acids into muscle protein – When this newly copied set of genetic instructions leaves the nucleus of the cell it gets picked up by a powerful enzyme called a ribosome. The ribosome reads the instructions, and collects the amino acids in the instructions (these are often the amino acids that have entered the muscle cell after they were absorbed after digestion). The ribosome then attaches these amino acids to each other to form a chain which is then folded into the correct shape so it can add to the muscle cell’s size and thus the overall size of the muscle.

Magnesium is also critical here because ribosomes are also magnesium-dependent enzymes!

Now when you eat more protein or drink a protein shake, you can actually visualize how your muscles rebuild themselves using the amino acids you’re consuming.

Because you now understand that this process depends on magnesium, it’s a powerful trick to boost your protein shakes with a natural form of magnesium chloride, as well as applying Promag300 transdermal magnesium directly on the muscles worked. This can increase the protein synthesis/muscle-building effects after your workout.

Conclusion:

In order to rebuild and grow your muscles bigger and stronger, your muscle cells need to perform the process of protein synthesis. This is where they convert the protein you eat into actual muscle tissue.

This process simply can’t happen without magnesium, because the enzymes needed for this process depend on magnesium to function.

This is why the best athletes with the most knowledgeable coaches are using Promag300 natural magnesium to raise their magnesium levels and boost their muscular development, recovery and performance in the long run.
