How does your body use magnesium?

Magnesium helps enzymes carry out hundreds of reactions in the body. It contributes to energy metabolism, supports normal muscle function, and helps maintain bones and teeth. It also plays a role in nerve function and in processes that regulate muscle contraction and relaxation.¹˒³ 

The body stores more than half of its magnesium in the bones, while the rest is found mainly in muscles and other soft tissues.³

How can you add magnesium to your routine?

Magnesium can come from food, supplements, or both. 

• Build balanced meals: Include magnesium-rich foods such as nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.³ 
• Choose a consistent time: If you use a supplement, take it according to the product label at a time that works with your routine. 
• Check your other supplements: Multivitamins and combination formulas may already contain magnesium. 
• Pay attention to comfort: Some forms and amounts of supplemental magnesium may cause digestive discomfort.³

*It is important to consult your trusted healthcare practitioner before adding any new natural health supplement to your routine.
