Magnesium is one of the most common & essential minerals in the body. It plays a role in energy production, protein formation, and blood pressure regulation. It also helps to:

• improve sleep quality
• boost mental health
• ease muscle aches
• help people quit smoking
• boost vitamin D absorption
• Support health during pregnancy.
• promote bone health

People can get more magnesium from pumpkin seeds, bananas, spinach, raw nuts especially almonds, chia seeds, soy milk, and black beans. However, the body only absorbs around 30–40% of the dietary magnesium a person consumes. This, combined with the relatively small amount of foods that contain high amounts of magnesium, may make it challenging for some people to get enough of this nutrient from their diet. Choosing the right magnesium supplement can help boost levels of this nutrient and may help with various medical conditions such as:

• migraine
• asthma
• anxiety and depression
• diabetes and diabetic neuropathy
• metabolic syndrome
• eclampsia and preeclampsia

There are many types of Magnesium supplements, each has different properties and some are easier to absorb than others but the most popular ones are:

• Magnesium Citrate: It is easy to absorb and it is used to treat constipation.
• Magnesium Lactate: It is a compound of magnesium and lactic acid and it is easily absorbed by the gut. It is used to treat muscle aches.
• Magnesium Glycinate: It is a compound of magnesium and glycine, an amino acid, and it is well tolerated in the body. It is used to relieve anxiety, and reduce pain.
• Magnesium Taurate: It is a compound of magnesium and taurine, which helps in lowering blood pressure and protect from cardiovascular diseases.
