We’ve all heard that Magnesium can help you sleep better, but have you ever wondered exactly how our sleep is affect by the essential mineral?

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of reactions in the body, including processes that support muscle relaxation, nervous system function, and the sleep–wake cycle.

Adding magnesium-rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, almonds, spinach, etc can support our body’s relaxation, cellular function, and circadian rhythm.

Have you heard claims about magnesium that seem too good to be true? 👀

Let’s clear up a few common MYTHS about this mineral and what it can do for your health!

⭐️Not all types of magnesium are the same.

⭐️Magnesium is not a mineral with a “quick fix”. It supports the functionality of body systems over a longer period of time.

⭐️ Not everyone needs a supplement. If you’re concerned about low magnesium, talk with your healthcare provider about your intake, symptoms, and whether testing would be helpful. Supplementation can help correct a deficiency.

⭐️ More isn’t always better. Start with magnesium-rich foods like pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, almonds, and spinach.
