Magnesium Supplementation: Why Try it?

Looking to start a new supplement to further your physical health? Try magnesium!

Magnesium is a very important mineral for the body to function properly because it is involved in more than 600 of the body’s enzymatic reactions. An enzymatic reaction controls the timing and release of drugs throughout the body. So, by taking a magnesium supplement, the timing and release of important drugs throughout your body could be more accurate and effective.

Magnesium is essential for healthy muscles, nerves, bones and blood sugar levels. According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75% of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium per day. By not reaching the recommended daily intake, you could start to experience a handful of different magnesium deficiencies. Magnesium deficiency can show up in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.
