Cramps, fatigue, restless nights. Magnesium takes part in more than 300 reactions in the body. How do you notice when it is low?
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of processes, from muscle contraction and nerve signalling to energy production and bone health.
Quiet signs
Cramps and twitching, constant tiredness, trouble falling asleep, headaches, a racing feeling, tension and a craving for sweets can all be linked with low magnesium.
Why the form matters
Different forms of magnesium are absorbed differently. Citrate is absorbed quickly, while bisglycinate is gentle on the stomach. Combined forms bring those advantages together.
If the signs persist, a blood test is the right next step.
