Struggling with Sleep, Cramps or Hormones? The Right Magnesium Could Change Everything

Magnesium fuels over 600 vital processes in the body—from how well you sleep to how balanced your hormones feel. Yet most people in the UK aren’t getting enough.

Low magnesium can show up as:

• Muscle cramps or twitching

• Insomnia

• Hormonal headaches or PMS

• Anxiety, stress, or low mood

• Brain fog

• Constipation or bloating

And here’s the kicker: standard NHS blood tests usually miss it.

What About Getting Magnesium from Food?

Low magnesium levels prompt the question: “Can’t I get more from food?” While foods like spinach, pumpkin seeds, almonds, avocado, and dark chocolate are rich in magnesium, it's hard to get enough nowadays. Modern farming depletes magnesium from the soil, and food processing can remove up to 80% of it.

Compounds in plant foods may block absorption, and stress, coffee, alcohol, and certain medications increase magnesium demand. For many, diet alone isn’t sufficient—supplements can help bridge the gap.
