Magnesium is one of my absolute favorite supplements under the sun. It helps to promote healthy blood sugar regulation. It's beneficial for anyone who is under stress or cannot sleep. It's been shown in studies to help relieve symptoms of anxiety and sadness. It also helps to maintain our healthy bones, may improve some headaches and help to manage blood pressure levels. And it can be taken in many, many different salt forms. And we're just seeing in recent research that depending on the salt that you take, you can have different benefits throughout the entire body.
