The power of magnesium
It's been said that if you can only take one supplement for the rest of your life, take Magnesium.
The market is flooded with magnesium supplements and for good reason; you need it! Studies show that most Americans are deficient in magnesium. Maybe it’s because people often disregard this common mineral they’ve heard about. Or, maybe they don’t understand the benefits and importance of getting the right amount. Truth be told, magnesium is probably one of the best supplements you’re not taking but should be.
What does magnesium do?
Magnesium helps the body produce energy, regulate blood pressure, maintain muscle, and support the immune system. It is also vital for cognitive and nerve function. Like a boss, this crucial mineral keeps everything running smoothly and ensures all departments, such as cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, brain, and nervous systems, perform their jobs efficiently. Magnesium doesn’t necessarily do the work itself, but others can’t do their jobs without it!
Did you know that exercise eats up your magnesium?
It’s true. Every time you contract your muscles and relax them, you use magnesium. You also lose magnesium when you sweat. Not to mention, the stress from exercise increases cortisol and adrenaline, which also requires more magnesium. So if you exercise, take a high-quality magnesium supplement.
Different forms of Magnesium
You can find magnesium supplements that range in price from $6 to $30. That’s quite a range but you must understand that there is a reason for these price discrepancies. Simply put, not all magnesium supplements are the same. For example, one of the least effective forms of magnesium for absorption is Magnesium Oxide. Take too much of this form and you will find yourself running for the nearest toilet. Contrary to that, research has shown that the most bioavailable forms of magnesium are ionically bonded to other organic compounds, typically amino acids. Look for ‘chelated’ or ‘malate’ forms of magnesium as they are absorbed by the body more efficiently.
The MVP of Minerals
Elemental Health Sciences Magnesium Complex uses highly absorbable chelated forms of magnesium in order to reduce the serving size while still yielding the desirable amount of usable magnesium per single serving and delivering the daily amount your body needs. The MVP of minerals, magnesium is undoubtedly gaining traction online. A recent search for “benefits of magnesium” resulted in pages and pages of information listing key benefits like those listed below:
- SUPPORTS EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
- MAINTAINS HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS
- HELPS SUPPORT HEART HEALTH
- MAY IMPROVE OCCASIONAL PMS SYMPTOMS

Bottom line? Magnesium is essential. If you care about good overall health, exercise performance, brain function, and heart health, you must ensure you’re getting enough magnesium daily. You can get magnesium through whole foods like spinach, chia seeds, peanut butter, and avocados. However, when you need to fill in the gaps of your nutrition like most of us do, you can reach for Magnesium Complex by Elemental Health® and know you’re receiving a highly absorbable, high-quality magnesium supplement.
