BiOptimizers

Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in Magnesium and it is the #1 mineral you need for stress, fatigue and sleep issues?

Magnesium increases GABA, which encourages relaxation on a cellular level and is critical for sleep. And because stress depletes magnesium, this also means magnesium is needed to support your body’s stress response. 

Magnesium is THE single most studied mineral in existence. It powers over 600 critical reactions in our bodies.

Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and are NOT FULL SPECTRUM. 

When you get all 7 critical forms of magnesium, you are supporting every function in your body that requires magnesium, and you can reverse magnesium deficiency and continue to support your body during times of stress and especially during pregnancy with one supplement.

That’s why I’m so excited about Magnesium Breakthrough. I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough because it combines all 7 essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.
