Abstract
Modern-day malnutrition-the result of poor dietary habits marked by high intakes of excess sugar and processed foods-is depleting our bodies of essential micronutrients. Among these micronutrients, zinc and magnesium support key functions in the brain, such as neurotransmitter synthesis and preservation, and are thought to play a significant role in an individual's mental health status. What can we learn from the data on zinc and magnesium supplementation?
