Magnesium is a vital mineral that acts as a cofactor for more than 350 enzymes, making it essential for countless processes throughout the body.
Common magnesium deficiency symptoms include chronic fatigue, muscle cramps, twitching, insomnia, irregular heart rhythms, insulin resistance, elevated cortisol, and depression. Fatigue is one of the most common signs because magnesium is required to produce ATP, the body’s primary source of cellular energy. Magnesium also helps power the sodium-potassium pump.
Most people develop a magnesium deficiency by eating too many refined foods and not enough magnesium-rich foods. Most blood tests can miss a magnesium deficiency because 99% of magnesium is not in the blood.
Magnesium glycinate is one of the best-absorbed forms of magnesium. Correcting a magnesium deficiency may support better sleep, improved energy levels, and improved overall health.
