Why You Should Take Magnesium Before Bed

I have recently been taking magnesium before bed every night and so far, I think it has been doing me well! Effects may take time to show up, of course.

Magnesium does a lot for your body like regulating blood sugar, supporting healthy bones, may improve sleep, may improve headaches, and more. But it also does a good bit for your mental health! Magnesium may reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Many people swear by magnesium for their anxiety! It also has a calming effect on the body due to it helping the control of neurotransmitters in the brain.

I used to have trouble sleeping and sometimes would take melatonin. However, melatonin is something your body naturally produces and taking it often made me feel groggy. I didn't want something as powerful, but I wanted something just to help me calm down at night.

These magnesium chewables are perfect! I take two, I bought the offbrand from Target and they're great.

Magnesium is found in some foods too if you don't want a supplement! Try adding more leafy greens like spinach, or legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and other foods rich in fiber to your diet.

Have you tried magnesium and what has your experience been like?
