What are the benefits of magnesium?

Magnesium offers many health benefits. It plays an important role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including energy production, muscle function and nerve transmission. 

Additionally, magnesium may  support bone health by aiding in calcium absorption and bone formation. It also contributes to heart health by regulating heart rhythm and blood pressure. Furthermore, magnesium may help alleviate symptoms of migraines, support mood and promote better sleep. It may also help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. 

While it’s best to obtain your daily magnesium requirements through a balanced diet, magnesium supplements may help if you have a deficiency.

Which magnesium supplement is best?

Determining the best magnesium supplement depends on individual needs and preferences. Common forms include magnesium citrate for digestive health, magnesium glycinate for relaxation, and magnesium oxide for constipation. Your healthcare professional can help you choose the best magnesium supplement for you.

Do magnesium supplements help with sleep?

While evidence supporting its efficacy is mixed, some studies show magnesium supplementation may enhance sleep duration and quality, especially in those with deficiencies or insomnia. Look for magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate rather than magnesium oxide, which is used as a stool softener rather than a sleep aid. 

Individual responses vary, so it’s best to consult your healthcare professional before taking magnesium supplements for sleep-related issues. 

When should you take a magnesium supplement?

Your ability to absorb the magnesium in a supplement depends on several factors, including whether or not you take it with meals and what other supplements and medications you’re taking. Your healthcare professional can advise you on when you should take a magnesium supplement.
