Mineral Highlight: Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that our bodies cannot make on its own but its so crucial for body regulation. Here are some of the major responsibilities it has for us:

Energy production

Thyroid function

Hormone metabolism

Relaxation & sleep (calms the nervous system)

Liver detoxification

Healthy digestion & gut

Vitamin D absorption

Insulin sensitivity

Insulin release & circulation

*if you feel like one or more of these areas are lacking, becoming more aware of Magnesium intake is a great first place to start.

Food is the easiest, most absorbable way to increase your Magnesium but know that there are other ways to get it also:

• Capsules

  • I like Magnesium Glycinate by Pure Encapsulations - Mg glycinate is typically the easiest form of Mg to digest

• Liquid form

• Powders - that you can mix into your fav beverage or mocktail

  • Magsoothe by Jigsaw Health

  • Magnesium Chelate by Klaire Labs

• Topical form - like a lotion; best for those easing into adding more Mg

  • I like Magnesium Lotion by Trace Minerals

*the brands I listed here are pharmaceutical-grade, high quality brands that I trust and you can shop all of these in my dispensary with 10% off!
