Did You Know Stress Depletes Magnesium?

• reducing stress and anxiety
• improving sleep quality
• supporting blood sugar levels
• it helps to relax muscles (including the bowel muscle)
• it’s important for cardiovascular health
• it helps the heart maintain a healthy heart rhythm
• it helps keeps blood pressure normal
• it can help protect against depression
• helps to reduce migraines or headaches
• helps to reduce PMS symptoms
• it plays a role in bone health

I could go on and on. When you’re rushing around being “busy”, have a busy work/life schedule, constantly worrying or overthinking things, drinking alcohol, not eating enough leafy greens or plant-based foods, exercising a lot, you’re running through your magnesium like crazy!

When looking at supplements with magnesium quality absolutely matters! Most over the counter supplements contain magneisum oxide, this is a poorly absorbable form you want to avoid (or throw in the bin if it’s the form you see on the back of a bottle you have at home). The most bioavailable form I like is magnesium bisglycinate, that is what I use mostly in clinic, or magnesium citrate when constipation is an issue.
