The Benefits of Magnesium

Stress, fatigue, muscle tension, or poor sleep may be signs your body may benefit from magnesium. Crucial for many biological processes, magnesium may assist:[1]

• Muscular health: relaxing muscles and easing muscular aches and pains.
• Energy levels: firing mitochondria to create more energy for work, life and play.
• Stress and anxiety: Supporting mood and a healthy stress response.
• Sleep: Calming and relaxant properties promote a restful night’s sleep.

Not all forms are the same. Opt for organic forms such as magnesium citrate, magnesium orotate or magnesium amino acid chelate. Magnesium amino acid chelate and citrate have been shown to have far greater solubility and absorption compared to the magnesium oxide, which can cause digestive upset.[2]
