Did you know that magnesium plays a role in over 300-600 processes in our body?
It is an essential part of our physiological well-being, but studies show that deficiency is quite common due to processed diets, stress, medications, GI disorders, diabetes, alcoholism, or aging.
Some core roles and benefits of magnesium include:
▪️Energy production
▪️Muscle and nerve function
▪️Cardiovascular Health
▪️Bone Health
▪️Protein, DNA/RNA, and Glutathione Synthesis
▪️Blood Glucose Control and Metabolic Health
▪️Neurologic and Psychological Well-being
▪️Immune Function and Anti Inflammatory Effects
▪️Structural Support for Cell Membranes and Chromosomes
▪️Wound Healing
▪️Regulation of Parathyroid Hormone and Vitamin D Actions
As you can see, maintaining adequate magnesium levels in the body is so important for our health! The good news is there are ways to make sure we get adequate amounts of magnesium into our bodies. Food sources of magnesium include leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. However, it can be quite difficult to know if we are getting adequate amounts from our food sources, but other supplementation options are widely available!
If supplementing with magnesium, the form matters.
-Magnesium glycinate has the highest bioavailabilty, meaning its ability to be absorbed and used by the body. Magnesium glycinate is great for sleep, anxiety, stress, and muscle relaxation, with low risk for laxative effects.
-Magnesium L-threonate is another great option which is best used for cognitive function, memory, brain fog, or migraines.
-Magnesium taurate is a great option for heart health, blood pressure, and cardiovascular support.

Always consult your provider before starting any new supplements, especially if you have health conditions or take medications.
If you would like even faster results to replenish magnesium, give us a call or text to book an infusion! Not only will you get magnesium delivered straight to your system, bypassing the digestive tract (where many supplements may get destroyed or are unable to be absorbed fully). Not only will you replenish magnesium levels, but you will also get instant hydration, replenished electrolytes and other essential vitamins and nutrients, including B vitamins, zinc, vitamin C, glutathione, and more!
