Magnesium for Women's Health

If magnesium was the first thing to pop into your mind, good. 

While all supplements are critical to overall health, magnesium has a lot of great health benefits and women are commonly deficient in it. Without a doubt, magnesium should always be part of your daily vitamin routine and here's why: 

When your body has sufficient magnesium levels, you can tell and you feel good. Relieving your body of unnecessary tension, magnesium helps your mind and body rest, allowing you to relieve stress and anxiety, which makes you a much happier mom, daughter, wife and colleague. 

Because magnesium naturally relaxes the muscles, it is one of the best nutrients to help you fall and stay asleep. It helps to calm the brain and releases tension in your skeletal muscles so you're able to relax completely and catch those important zzz's. 

Magnesium has also been shown to work wonders for those suffering with PMS, such as cramps, headaches and irritability. Again, because of its ability to relax the body, cramps may be relieved before or during a woman's menstrual cycle, as well as tension headaches, stress and irritability. 

If you suffer from any of the following symptoms, you might be deficient in magnesium: 

Insomnia 

Irritability

Stress

Anxiety

Muscle cramps/spasms

ADD

Heart palpitations

Constipation 

Headaches/migraines 

Chronic fatigue 

High blood pressure 

IBS

Reflux

PMS/menstrual cramps

Constipation

Painful muscles and joints 

So, how can you replenish your magnesium stores? Easy. Supplement with a highly bio-available magnesium supplement, such as magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate. You can also use magnesium topically to help ease tense muscles, especially after a hard workout, and relieve joint and muscle pain.
