Finding the right supplement can change your life. There's one in particular that's had a massive impact on mine and it's Magnesium. Magnesium is needed for your cells to function yet some studies show that up to 90 % of people are magnesium deficient. This is due to the Western diet and how we grow our food. Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency: · Insomnia · Osteoporosis · Chronic stress · High blood pressure · Irregular heartbeats · Mental health conditions · Decreased quality of sleep · Muscle twitches and cramps · Fatigue and muscle weakness I found out that I was magnesium deficient through a blood test so I started taking 200mg of Magnesium L-Threonate and it's been a game changer. First, it's changed the way I sleep. I sleep faster and deeper than ever before. A study was done on older adults with insomnia and found that 500mg of magnesium for 8 weeks helped them fall asleep faster, longer, reduced nighttime awakenings and increased melatonin production. Second, it's made me more relaxed and less stressed. Low magnesium levels have been correlated with increases in stress, muscle tension, and cortisol levels. Benefits of taking magnesium: · Improved sleep · Decreased stress · Anti-inflammatory · Increased relaxation · Improved bone health · Improved mental health · Boost in exercise performance There are many different types of magnesium to choose from. The one I take is a blend of Magnesium Glycinate & Magnesium L-Threonate because they come with the benefits listed above. Magnesium citrate is one I stay away from as it has a laxative effect. If you find that you're suffering from the some of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency or want something to assist in helping you sleep try taking some magnesium. It might change your life.
