Flashier nutrients in discussions about cancer often overshadow magnesium, yet it plays a foundational role in cellular health, immune regulation, and metabolic balance. Emerging research reveals that magnesium deficiency may not only increase cancer risk but also impair recovery, worsen treatment side effects, and disrupt quality of life. Let’s explore the science behind magnesium’s anticancer benefits—and why it deserves a central place in integrative oncology.

Magnesium’s Role in Cancer Biology

Magnesium is a cofactor in over 600 enzymatic reactions, including DNA repair, RNA synthesis, and ATP production. It regulates oxidative stress, inflammation, and calcium signaling—all of which are tightly linked to cancer development and progress...
