Do you have trouble sleeping? Does your mind race at night? Are you stressed over all you have yet to accomplish?

Your diet may be deficient in several essential nutrients which are keeping you from the rest and relaxation you deserve.

~Let’s take a look at one particular essential nutrient that your body absolutely must have in order to function properly and enable you to sleep like you’re supposed to.

Magnesium:

Magnesium is critical to human health.  A vital nutrient found in whole grains, legumes and green leafy vegetables (like spinach!) -magnesium is responsible for regulating heartbeat, blood pressure, blood sugar and over 300 more essential metabolic functions.

Magnesium deficiency is related to hyperexcitability, nervousness, restlessness, mood swings, depression and in severe cases even death.

The USDA estimates that more than two-thirds of the US population is magnesium deficient.

More on magnesium from the USDA here.

Most common multivitamins and magnesium supplements source magnesium oxide or magnesium chloride  in the manufacturing process.

Unfortunately, less than 30% of these compounds can be absorbed by the human body.  Supplement manufacturers generally use these compounds because they are inexpensive, compact easily and are easy to handle in an industrial environment.

That’s good news for manufacturers -bad news for you.

The best sources of dietary magnesium come from green leafy vegetables, nuts and some whole grains of course.

However, if you do not receive enough magnesium from your diet you may want to consider supplementing with a quality magnesium supplement.

But which magnesium supplement should you choose?

Look for magnesium supplements containing magnesium chelate, magnesium fumerate, magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate.  These forms of magnesium are highly bio-available and are readily absorbed by the human body.

Naturally, I recommend Poliquin Supplements.
