Episode 481: Is Your Magnesium Working For You? Relax and Regulate Reformulation


Listen Later

Have you tried magnesium but felt like it didn’t help—or even made things worse? Are you confused by all the different forms and dosages? In this episode, Ali and Becki break down how magnesium actually works in the body, why so many people think they “don’t tolerate” magnesium, and why form, dose, and context matter far more than most realize.

We also share the full story behind the reformulation of Relax & Regulate, our superstar magnesium product. You’ll learn why we chose magnesium bisglycinate paired with myo-inositol, how this combination supports nervous system regulation, sleep, anxiety, blood sugar, and hormone balance, and why it’s especially impactful for PCOS, perimenopause, and stress-driven symptoms.
