Choosing the right magnesium!

You may have noticed all the good press that Magnesium has been getting recently, and rightly so!

With so many people experiencing inexplicable exhaustion and burnout, it’s no surprise that this powerful mineral is getting high praise for righting the wrongs of modern living. (Can you tell that I’ve had my Mg this morning :-))

 

Now, before you pop to the shops to grab yourself a bottle of quick-fix Magnesium, it’s important to know that not all Magnesiums are equal. 

At Sally T. we’ve done a deep dive into the research to help you understand the benefits of Magnesium, and, even more importantly, which supplements will have the greatest impact on your health.

Here are a couple of must-know highlights

Getting enough Magnesium from our foods is no longer an option.

This is due to depletion in the soil and further depletion from cooking and the Fluoride in our water (which binds to Magnesium), PLUS our increased needs because of increased stress levels and unhealthy guts and absorption.

Understanding why it’s vital that we get enough Magnesium

Magnesium is involved in over 300 metabolic reaction processes in the body. This includes energy production on a cellular level, which is essential for proper cellular and all other metabolic functions. It is present in every cell throughout the body?

Do you want to repeat the word Magnesium all the time?  And rather just highlight some of the areas involved?  Energy levels is one of the main functions and perhaps tops and the others added after ?

Areas where Magnesium is essential for functioning is shown below.

Blood sugar control

⦁ Insulin resistance
⦁ Low levels result in hyper excitability of the nerves and random firing.

This can alter sleep patterns making it difficult to get to sleep.
Essential for sufferers of ADD/ADHD.

Vital for the contraction and relaxation of muscles, including the heart muscle.

⦁ Treatment for Pre-Menstrual Tension (PMS)
⦁ Involved in:

normal protein synthesis

⦁ Involved in calcium metabolism – essential for healthy bones and teeth
⦁ cell division and electrolyte balance.

Signs of Low Magnesium Levels

Inadequate magnesium levels can lead to various health risks, including:
Perhaps these points above could be added in bullet form e.g.

⦁ Poor energy levels, even after a good night’s sleep.
⦁ Sleep disorders
⦁ Low stress tolerance
⦁ Decreasing athletic performance
⦁ Muscle Cramps: especially in athletes.
⦁ Anxiety and Depression:
⦁ Osteoporosis: can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
⦁ Hypertension:
⦁ Diabetes: can increase the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
⦁ Migraines: Deficiency may lead to migraines. Supplementation can reduce the frequency and intensity.
⦁ Asthma: Low magnesium levels can increase the risk of asthma attacks lead to asthma attacks.

Understanding the bio-availability of different magnesium supplements can help you make an informed decision when choosing a supplement.

Magnesium compounds with higher levels of bio-availability, are magnesium malate, magnesium citrate, and magnesium aspartate. Magnesium oxide has a lower level of absorption and is beneficial for gut therapy.
