Magnesium and Anxiety

The correlation between magnesium and anxiety is so strong that researchers can intentionally induce anxiety in lab animals by depriving them of magnesium. Cruel, I know….but it’s true.

Magnesium is critical for hundreds of metabolic functions, yet fewer than half of us get adequate magnesium from the food we eat and most choose a low absorbing form. 

Low levels of magnesium in the body can increase stress, and high levels of physical or mental stress can lower magnesium. So supplementing is critical.

When purchasing a magnesium supplement, look for:

  • Maximum Bioavailability (If it doesn’t say it, it doesn’t have it)
  • Added B6 for better absorption (read the label)

I love mine because it’s a powder instead of a capsule, so I just toss it in my lemonade! If you need help with trusted resources, let me know!
