Benefits

Magnesium is an essential mineral that participates in more than 300 biochemical processes throughout the body. It plays a key role in energy production, muscle and nerve function, protein synthesis, and the maintenance of bone health. In terms of women’s health, Magnesium helps relax smooth muscles, which can alleviate menstrual cramps and reduce overall discomfort. By supporting neurotransmitter function, it may also lessen mood swings and irritability linked to PMS. Moreover, Magnesium contributes to hormonal balance through its involvement in energy metabolism and enzyme regulation. It also encourages relaxation and better sleep.

Evidence

  • In an RCT crossover study, 2 months of supplementation
    with magnesium improved symptoms of weight gain, swelling of extremities, breast tenderness, abdominal bloating compared with placebo.
  • When magnesium is combined with B6 it has been shown to be effective with reducing premenstrual related anxiety.
  • We use magnesium bisglycinate, a chelated form that’s absorbed far more efficient than the commonly used magnesium oxide, so you get maximum uptake with minimal digestive discomfort.
