You eat reasonably well. You try to get enough sleep. You're doing all the "right" things...yet you still feel flat. Maybe your muscles feel tight after a long day. Perhaps you're finding it harder to switch off at night, or you're waking up feeling like you haven't properly rested.
While these feelings can have many different causes, one nutrient that's often overlooked is magnesium.
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical processes throughout the body, yet many of us may not be getting enough of it.
Why are so many people low?
Magnesium is an essential mineral, meaning your body can't produce it on its own. It needs to come from your diet or supplementation.
As a naturally occurring mineral found in the earth, Plants absorb magnesium from the soil as they grow, which is how it makes its way into foods like leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes.
Years ago, eating a balanced diet made it much easier to meet your daily magnesium needs. Today, it's not always that simple.
Several factors can make it harder to maintain healthy magnesium levels, including:
- Reported lower magnesium levels in agricultural soils (1)
- Diets containing more highly processed foods
- Busy, stressful lifestyles that increase the body's demand for magnesium
- Regular caffeine and alcohol consumption, which has been found to further reduce magnesium levels (2,3)
Even if you're eating well, modern life can make it difficult to get enough magnesium every day.
What does low magnesium feel like?
Because magnesium supports so many functions throughout the body, low intake doesn't always present in one obvious way.
Many people describe feeling:
- Tired, even after a full night's sleep
- More stressed or overwhelmed than usual
- Tight or cramp-prone muscles
- Restless when trying to fall asleep
- Simply not feeling their best
These symptoms can have many different causes, but they may also be associated with low magnesium intake.
This is where Magnesium supplements help...
Magnesium helps support hundreds of normal processes throughout the body, including:
- Supporting healthy muscle function
- Supporting normal nervous system function
- Assisting energy production
- Supporting a healthy stress response
- Promoting restful sleep
Put simply, magnesium helps your body function the way it's designed to.
Why choose Magnesium Glycinate?
A nutritious diet should always be the foundation of good health, but it doesn't always guarantee you're getting enough magnesium. This is where supplements come in, however, not all magnesium supplements are the same.
Different forms of magnesium are absorbed differently by the body and can have different effects. Research consistently shows that organic forms of magnesium, including Magnesium Glycinate, are generally more bioavailable than magnesium oxide, meaning they are absorbed more efficiently by the body. Magnesium glycinate is also recognised for being gentle on the digestive system, making it a popular choice for everyday supplementation. (4,5)
That makes it an excellent option for everyday supplementation, particularly for people looking for a magnesium supplement that's easy to take consistently.
At MISMO, we believe quality ingredients make all the difference. Our Magnesium Glycinate is formulated using a premium, highly absorbable form of magnesium to help support your daily magnesium intake as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Whether you're looking to support healthy muscle function, relaxation, quality sleep or simply maintain healthy magnesium levels, MISMO Magnesium Glycinate is an easy addition to your daily routine. For best results: Take 2 capsules 60–90 minutes before bed - and start to reclaim your days.
