Magnesium Supplements
Magnesium Supplements
Magnesium is one of the most important, and common, nutrients in the body. It contributes to hundreds of different functions, which is why it is important to keep your levels up and one way you can do so, is by taking magnesium supplements. At Superdrug, you’ll find a wide range of magnesium options, including magnesium tablets, magnesium spray and multi vitamin options which combine magnesium with other nutrients that are important in keeping your health in tip top condition.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and contributes to a wealth of different functions that help support your body and mind. For example, it converts your food into energy; it helps keep your muscles active and mobile; along with calcium it helps keep your teeth and bones healthy; and it can also help reduce the feeling of fatigue. These are just of few of the ways our amazing body’s use magnesium day to day.
There are two common types of magnesium: magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate. Both are known to be well-absorbed by the body through supplements, but magnesium glycinate has the slight edge as its best absorbed easier and is kinder to your tummy!
Now we know why we need magnesium, let’s answer one of the most common questions out there: what does a magnesium supplement do? Although magnesium is found in abundance of different types of food (think nuts, seeds, leafy greens and a small amount in meat and fish) low levels of magnesium have been linked to a number of health concerns, so by taking a supplement you are effectively ensuring your body is getting all the magnesium it needs. Feeling extremely tired, muscle twitches, aches and pains and high blood pressure are all telltale signs that you may have low levels of magnesium, but we always advise you to seek professional help if you feel you may have any kind of nutrient deficiency.
