Magnesium: Which type should you actually be taking?
Magnesium is a hugely important part of our biological systems, but upwards of 60 percent of the population in Australia is deficient in magnesium. The situation looks worse for our listeners in the US with estimates of around 80%. So is supplementation a legitimate option? And which one should you take? This ep we dive into:
•Why magnesium could be the important mineral for your health.
•What functions magnesium has in your body.
•How ATP - the AA batteries of the human body - relies on magnesium.
•How magnesium affects your sleep quality
•How this macromineral can help with PMS and bloating
•Is the powdered stuff really any better than the pill form?
•Which side-effects could arise from taking magnesium supplements (you must hear this!)
