Stress Management with Magnesium

15/03/2016

If you find yourself severely stressed from work or school, lacking sleep, and suffering from chronic pain, you might want to consider taking some Magnesium supplements to help you manage your stress and feel more relaxed. Magnesium is a very important mineral that is responsible for more than 300 enzyme reactions. It is found in all of your tissues, primarily in your bones, muscles, and brain. It is essential for your cells to produce energy, stabilizes membranes, and helps the muscles relax. For stress management, this is one mineral you can definitely count on.

Taking Magnesium Supplements

  • The RDA (the minimum amount needed) for magnesium is about 300 mg a day. Some may need more, depending on their condition.
  • Most people benefit from 400 to 1,000 mg a day.
  • We recommend Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Chelate or Magnesium Citrate – these have 4 times the bioavailabilty of other forms of magnesium.
  • Avoid Magnesium Oxide as it upsets the stomach.
  • Our preferred brands are Mega Mag (Ethical Nutrients), Ultra Muscleze (Bioceuticals), or Magnesium Excel (Oriental Botanicals). These are available in our health food store.
