Magnesium (as Malate)
Magnesium (as Malate) Benefits at a Glance:
- Important nutrient for stress support and a stable mood
- Helps regulate hormone production and balance
- Optimizes sleep quality
- Helps reduce the severity of PMS symptoms
- Supports blood sugar balance
Known as a calming mineral for its role in neurotransmitter function, low magnesium levels are commonly reported in those suffering from increased psychological stress. By controlling the release of stress hormones like cortisol and supporting GABA production (a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and calmness), magnesium may help relieve anxiety, depression, and irritability.
Magnesium also plays a role in hormone regulation by supporting thyroid function, estrogen and progesterone production, and regulating blood sugar levels – making it a crucial nutrient to women’s health and vitality, especially when hormone imbalances are present. Magnesium also helps improve calcium absorption to support bone health and density as you age.
Since magnesium is one of North America’s most common nutrient deficiencies, increasing magnesium intake when you experience hormonal fluctuations can help reduce the severity of symptoms and bring your body back into balance.
Why It’s Included
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for female hormone production and balance. Hormonal birth control depletes magnesium, so it’s essential to increase your intake during and after the use of oral contraceptives.
