Magnesium is the most important mineral in the body and is the number one most deficient nutrient amongst all of the vitamins and minerals. Deficiency in it commonly causes muscle tension, low energy, stress & anxiety.
Magnesium is important for muscle recovery and relaxation, digestion, energy production, and nerve excitation as an electrolyte. Signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency are muscle twitches, cramps or ticks, general and muscle fatigue, anxiety, high blood pressure, insomnia and PMS.
You can get magnesium out of whole grains like brown rice, almonds, and green leafy vegetables like rocket, spinach, broccoli & bok choy. However because it is such an important mineral we use it up so quickly and it is hard to get enough of it. Most people do benefit from supplementation with magnesium.
Not all magnesium supplements are the same. Common supermarket brands are poorly absorbed and can keep you running to the toilet! At Noosa Holistic Health we use practitioner only magnesium that is well absorbed and will aid in your muscle recovery.
