Better Sleep with Magnesium
Did you know that only 25% of U.S. adults consume the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of magnesium?!
The top signs of Magnesium deficiency are:
Irritability + anxiety
Lethargy
Muscle cramping
Muscle spasms
Difficulty sleeping
Magnesium is the primary ingredient in muscle relaxation, and has a neuro-protective effect that is crucial to every stage of sleep. It also assists in slowing metabolic processes, lowering brain temperature as your body attempts to repair daily damage during sleep cycles and regulating key hormones responsible for not only helping you fall asleep, but keeping you asleep.
Even though you may grab the melatonin to help you fall asleep, sufficient levels of magnesium are required to stimulate melatonin synthesis or else your sleep quality plummets.
There are, of course, other factors to consider such as aging + hormones. In post-menopausal women, research has shown that magnesium both reduces and alleviates menopausal symptoms, as well as improves quality of sleep.
The list of sleep issues related to low magnesium is quite lengthy, including restless leg, sleep apnea, asthma, periodic limb movement during sleep, hot flashes (which, of course, can be listed under the menopause symptoms), leg cramps, migraine, and even digestive issues.
I highly recommend Ancient Minerals - I've been personally using and selling their products for years! In my experience, I've found that a lot of other magnesium products aren't as high quality or effective.
Luckily, you can get a variety of Ancient Minerals magnesium products (such as the popular Goodnight Sleep Lotion, body oil, and bath flakes) to help you sleep better and feel better at my office in Scottsdale, AZ. Pick it up at your next appointment or drop by!
