1stphorm - Magnesium

Magnesium is important for a strong bone structure and is involved in hundreds of bodily functions, from cellular reactions to enzymatic processes. This essential mineral helps convert food to energy, makes muscles contract and relax more effectively, and regulates neurotransmitters throughout the brain and nervous system to keep nerves sending and receiving messages efficiently.

It is the fourth most abundant mineral in our bodies but over 50% of adults are not reaching the recommended daily allowance of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can contribute to numerous negative ailments and has been linked to a long list of issues like osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, stress, diabetes and strokes.

Although it can be taken any time of day, you may choose to take 1st Phorm’s magnesium in the evening because of the relaxing and calming effect it can have on your mind and body. The most important thing with magnesium is to stay consistent with your supplementation if your diet is lacking in this vital nutrient.
