The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

when cortisol levels r it signals to the kidneys that they need to kick into turbo mode and start expelling more magnesium out of the body this action further reduces our body's total magnesium Supply
as the stress continues it's extracting magnesium and it and then and then expelling it through the body through urination which then gradually depletes our overall Body store of magnesium
stress also triggers certain hormones that can affect The Balancing Act of magnesium in our body especially in in in organs like the gut kidneys and the bones so these hormones can result in less magnesium getting absorbed in the intestines more getting expelled from the kidneys as I just mentioned leading to this downward spiral in magnesium levels if we don't replenish it properly
these hormones are released during times of stress and then subsequently your body uses up more magnesium to try to help manage the Str the stress reactions so what ends up happening is this can reduce overall amounts of magnesium available for other functions of the body
