I am often singing the praises of Magnesium supplements. Did you know that approximately 80% of Americans are deficient in Magnesium. This is very important as Magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in our bodies. Some of the most important are heartbeat regulation, blood pressure regulation and cellular energy production. If you have irregular heartbeats or generally feel lacking in energy then you could probably benefit from a Magnesium supplement. But which one? This article from Dr. Josh Axe explains 15 of them and their uses. Some specialise in lowering blood pressure, others help to keep your digestive tract working regularly, if you know what I mean. I take Magnesium Citrate to avoid muscle cramps in the night. It's a small price to pay for the knowledge that you won't wake in the night in agony with cramp. It's not easy to measure your level of Magnesium so I would always suggest trying a couple of them and seeing if your condition improves. The only real side effect I know about is the possibility of having to rush to the toilet if you take a little bit too much Magnesium Oxide. On the other hand that might be exactly what you need. 🙂
While magnesium is one of the most important minerals for the body, it’s vital to understand that not all types of magnesium are the same.
