I don’t believe in taking a ton of supplements, but for me, a daily pill or tbsp of Natural Vitality magnesium is an absolute must!
Magnesium is amazing for so many reasons. First of all, it is known to be the number one relaxation mineral. An adequate intake of magnesium is linked with better sleep, elevated mood, and a relaxed mood. Struggling with anxiety, depression, or insomnia? Magnesium could possibly be the perfect fix!
Magnesium is extremely essential to bone health– it helps with the assimilation of calcium to bone and helps in creating ATP (the energy used by our cells). People with insufficient amounts of magnesium are more likely to develop osteoporosis or have low muscle tone.
Magnesium regulates electrolyte balance, metabolism, and other biochemical reactions, making it essential to regulating our body’s systems. The absence of magnesium can affect the brain, the muscles, the heart, and blood vessels.
Magnesium helps relieve cramps, headaches, constipation, and achy bones- say good bye to PMS symptoms (or at least experience a lot less of these symptoms with an adequate intake of magnesium!)
Magnesium helps in controlling Diabetes- it enhances insulin secretion and plays an important role in carbohydrate and and glucose metabolism.
Magnesium re-mineralizes teeth and alkalizes the body- therefore, it plays an extremely important role in the health of your teeth and the overall health of your body and its PH balance.
These are just some of the incredible properties of magnesium- the list goes on and on! I personally really love it for it’s ability to calm me down in the morning and before I go to bed.
Magnesium can be found in foods such as bananas, soy, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and black beans, but it is very difficult to obtain enough magnesium from food alone- that’s why 70% of women and 80% of men are deficient!
I used to always take magnesium in pill form until I found out about Natural Vitality. Natural Vitality is a powdered form of magnesium that is easily absorbed by the body and is 100% organic. There powders come in different flavor, but my favorite is the raspberry lime. It’s tangy and sweetened with a touch of stevia- my sweetener of choice! Add it to a glass of water and you have yourself the perfect calming and yummy drink to have right before bed.
Do you think you could be deficient in magnesium? Are you looking for a yummier and more sustainable way to enjoy your daily dose of magnesium? Check out Natural Vitality here.
