Seven reasons everyone swears by this magnesium

Poor sleep, low mood, headaches, a feeling that you’re not firing on all cylinders… all too easy to dismiss as simply the reality of a busy life, but they can be signs you’re low in magnesium. And you’re not alone. In fact, over 50% of us are estimated to have a magnesium deficiency, and since it supports hundreds of processes in the body, it’s essential that you’re getting enough.

Over 50% of us are estimated to have a magnesium deficiency

Let’s take a look at seven mind-and-body benefits of this mighty mineral:

1. Sleep better to live better 

Tired of feeling tired? Magnesium is fondly known as ‘nature’s tranquiliser’, soothing frazzled nerves and helping you drift off to a deep slumber. In a recent sleep study, Wild Nutrition’s Food-Grown® Magnesium was found to increase sleep by 42 minutes each night and shorten the time taken to fall asleep by 18 minutes. Our tip: take two magnesium supplements an hour before bed to hit the sleepy sweet spot. 

2. Hit refresh on your energy

The body depends on magnesium for energy production, it optimises energy levels and reduces tiredness, and also helps to regulate levels of calcium, copper, zinc, potassium, vitamin D and other nutrients. And, because magnesium is also proven to improve sleep quality, if you’re feeling fatigued, it’s a win-win.

3. Stress less 

Psychological support is another of Magnesium’s myriad benefits. In fact, in a scientific study, testers reported a 36% reduction in stress levels. Because stress depletes magnesium levels - a cycle that results in more stress - it’s important to keep your levels topped up to avoid feeling burnt out or overwhelmed.

“I like to think of magnesium as our ‘miracle mineral’. It plays a role in over 300 different functions in the body, but modern diets, caffeine, stress, medication and our menstrual cycle – they all reduce our body’s magnesium stores.”

Henrietta Norton
Wild Nutrition Founder & Formulator 

4. Tackle muscle issues from the inside out

Tired legs? Uncomfortable cramps? Muscular aches and pains are one of the most common symptoms of magnesium deficiency. If restless legs are keeping you awake at night, it’s a sure sign your muscles could use some magnesium. 

“This has changed my life! I had severe restless legs for years. I’ve been taking it for ten months now and my restless legs are gone.” 

Hayley, Wild Nutrition customer 

5. Hormonal balance for every life stage

From periods to perimenopause and beyond, a magnesium supplement is a great way to support your body’s hormonal balance.

“This is my number one magnesium supplement on the market because it’s food-grown, which means it’s more bioavailable and therefore the body recognises it more easily and is able to absorb the capsules and utilise them in your body.”  

Naturopathic nutritionist, Jess Shand quoted in The Independent 

6. Good for your gut  

It’s a gut-friendly supplement, too. Magnesium helps to regulate and activate digestive enzymes and, because it relaxes gastrointestinal muscles, it plays a key role in digestive health. And because Wild Nutrition’s Food-Grown® supplements are made from real, whole food ingredients, they’re easy on your digestive system. Win win. 

7. The difference is Food-Grown® 

Your body is wired to receive nutrition from food yet 95% of today’s supplements are artificially derived. Food-Grown® Magnesium is different. Grown in raw, live food paste, your body knows exactly what to do with it, extracting the goodness, just as it would with food.
