What the Research Actually Says About Magnesium and Performance

What the Research Actually Says About Magnesium and Performance

2 min read | CLE Drops Blog Journal

It's easy to find bold claims about minerals and athletic performance online. It's much harder to find real, published research behind them. Here's an example of the genuine science behind magnesium, one of the 70+ trace elements in CLE Drops, presented honestly.

The Study

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of Sports Science (Setaro et al., 2014) gave 25 volleyball players either 350mg of magnesium daily or a placebo, over 4 weeks.

The magnesium group showed a significant decrease in lactate buildup after exercise, along with a 3cm improvement in vertical jump height, compared to no meaningful change in the placebo group.

What This Does (and Doesn't) Tell Us

This is genuine, peer-reviewed research, and it's worth taking seriously. But it's important to be precise about what it actually shows: this was a study on magnesium supplementation generally, not a CLE Drops-specific clinical trial. We think that distinction matters, and we'd rather be upfront about it than blur the line.

Why We're Sharing It Anyway

Magnesium is one of the 70+ trace minerals delivered in CLE Drops' fulvic-chelated form, designed to support the kind of cellular energy production and muscle function this research points to. Real, cited research about the ingredients in a formula is worth more than a vague, unsupported marketing claim, even when it comes with an honest caveat attached.
