Which magnesium supplement is right for you?

By

If you’ve heard a lot about magnesium lately, it’s for good reason!⁠ Wondering about the different types of magnesium and which one is best for you?

⁠

And… if you have hormonal imbalance, listen up! ⁠

⁠

Our bodies actually DON’T run on hormones. Instead, they run on 9,000 enzymes… and just a handful of minerals activate these enzymes – magnesium being one of them! ⁠

⁠

Magnesium is associated with 3,751 enzymes, and it’s the catalyst for over 600 chemical reactions in the body. Amazing, right? ⁠

⁠

Clearly, magnesium is a BIG DEAL, but most of us are deficient in this important mineral. In fact, it’s estimated that up to 2/3 of Americans are deficient in magnesium. ⁠

⁠

Even if you’re eating plenty of spinach, avocados, and pumpkin seeds, you’re still likely to be low in magnesium. ⁠

⁠

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

  • Osteoporosis⁠
  • Depression⁠
  • PMS⁠
  • Cardiovascular disease⁠
  • Noise sensitivity⁠
  • Hypothyroidism⁠
  • Anxiety⁠
  • Hyperactivity⁠
  • Tremors⁠
  • Excessive sweating⁠

​

Stress (!!), pregnancy, and coffee consumption can deplete magnesium, so sometimes it’s helpful to supplement with the right type of magnesium.⁠

​

There are 8 common types of magnesium, each with their own benefits and disadvantages. The ones listed below include just some of the benefits of each to get you started with choosing the best option. Be sure to do your own research and talk to your doctor before adding one to your regimen. ⁠

 

Different types of magnesium


​

I personally use magnesium glycinate because it’s generally well-absorbed and helpful for anxiety and restful sleep. ⁠

⁠

How much magnesium should you take?⁠

⁠

The RDA for adult females is 310 mg (and 350 mg for pregnant females), but some people might need higher (or lower) doses of magnesium for optimal health. Some of our clients take anywhere from 500-700 mg daily. Again, talk to your doctor and do what’s best for you! ⁠

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy ge...

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this pr...
