One of the Best Supplements to Aid Sleep
Sometimes we need a little extra boost in helping us sleep. One of my main go-to's is Magnesium.
Magnesium is an amazing sleep aid! It works with your nervous system to help you be calm and relaxed. It regulates the neurotransmitters in your brain and nervous system and helps balance your melatonin production, which in turn, helps to regulate your sleep cycles.
By quieting the nervous system, magnesium helps your body and mind relax for sleep. Not only can magnesium help you get to sleep, but it plays a part in helping you achieve deep and restful sleep as well.
A few other benefits of magnesium are;
- Help reduce leg cramps that can happen in the middle of the night,
- Help regulate your bowel movements (constipation)
- Help alleviate anxiety and depression.
MY RESULTS WITH MAGNESIUM
I have used magnesium for years. It has helped me to relax and sleep better and deeper, and help alleviate my issues with constipation. There are 2 forms of magnesium I recommend; magnesium citrate, as in the CALM supplement; and Magnesium glycinate, as in the PURE supplement. If you have issues with loose bowels, then I would recommend the glycinate over the citrate form, as the citrate has a bit more of a bowel loosening effect.
HOW TO TAKE
Follow the directions on the bottle.
It's best to take at bedtime, but there are some of us who are sensitive people like me... I take my magnesium in the morning because it will keep me awake if I take it at bedtime, but I do sleep better at night even when I take it in the morning with breakfast, go figure...but true...
