Magnesium Blend - 90 Vegetable Capsules

Though my approach to supplementation continues to prioritize taking blends made with nutrient-dense foods, some health challenges such as poor quality sleep and recurrent anxiety and muscle cramping can benefit from regular intake of stand-alone magnesium.

Magnesium is a mineral that we need in relatively large amounts for optimal health. Most of our body's magnesium is located in our bones and teeth. Our remaining magnesium is present in our soft tissues and the fluids that surround these tissues.

What Does Magnesium Do?

1. Facilitates formation of tooth enamel, which helps prevent cavities.

2. Provides structure to our bones.

3. Helps convert carbohydrates, protein, and fats into energy.

4. Helps make protein and genetic material for our cells.

5. Helps regulate nerve signaling, muscle contraction and relaxation, and heart rhythm.

6. Helps reduce homocysteine levels, which lowers our risk of stroke, heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's disease.

Because of the role that magnesium plays in the functioning of our nervous system, getting a sufficient amount is essential to support optimal sleep and brain function, as well as to prevent anxiety.

This is a special blend of 3 highly bioavailable forms of magnesium made by Arthur Andrew Medical, a partner that I've worked with for over 15 years and fully trust for their research and quality control.

At the heart of this blend is sucrosomial magnesium oxide, a form that is covered by a lipid matrix which enhances absorption in the small intestine and minimizes gastrointestinal discomfort. This blend also includes bisglycinate and taurate forms of magnesium. Also present are small amounts of potassium and a form of vitamin C to support optimal usage of magnesium within the body.

What can be expected in taking this magnesium blend?

Initially, there may be a change in bowel movement consistency and quality. Magnesium is needed for optimal movement of waste materials through the colon, so those who suffer with chronic or recurrent constipation tend to notice an improvement in gastrointestinal motility.

Within a week or two of regular intake, intermittent muscle cramping, recurrent muscle strains, and restless leg syndrome tend to diminish.

Within a month of taking this blend, sleep quality tends to be better, and those who struggle with unexplained anxiety may notice improvement in overall mood.

After 3 or more months of regular intake, all organ systems should be benefiting from optimal magnesium status, which typically translates to better overall mobility and a sense of emotional balance that comes from a healthier nervous system.
