Magnesium supplementation gets a lot of attention for the ability to produce a better night’s sleep, fight stress, boost mood, and support heart health. That is huge!
But there is another benefit that most people don’t know about. Magnesium boosts energy levels, especially in people with low magnesium and that is just about everybody. In the United States, detailed analysis indicates that most people consume only about half of the amount of magnesium necessary for good health. Magnesium can produce a calming effect, but it also is critical to energy production. Double-blind studies have also shown magnesium supplementation to improve chronic fatigue and feelings of low energy.
Magnesium is available in several different forms. Absorption studies indicate that most forms of magnesium are easily absorbed orally, especially when magnesium is bound to citrate, glycine (bisglycinate), aspartate, or malate. Inorganic forms of magnesium such as magnesium chloride, oxide, or carbonate are generally well absorbed but are more likely to cause diarrhea at higher dosages. A simple recommendation is to try taking 300 mg daily of a highly absorbable form like magnesium citrate or bisglycinate at bedtime for a month and see how you feel.
Magnesium, put it on your list of foundational health support.
