Magnesium

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It supports energy production, muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, and bone health.

What does it do?

It helps regulate sleep, mood, and blood sugar, relaxes muscles, and calms the nervous system. Low levels are linked with anxiety, poor sleep, high blood pressure, and fatigue.

What foods and how much do I need to get DV?

1 ounce almonds (23 nuts) = ~20% DV
1 cup cooked spinach = ~40% DV
1 cup cooked black beans = ~30% DV
1 medium avocado = ~15% DV

Do I need a supplement for everyday health?

For many people, yes. Magnesium deficiency is common due to low intake of nuts, beans, and greens, plus losses from stress and medications. A supplement can help close the gap and support relaxation, sleep, and heart health.
