The best way to understand how magnesium impacts the body is that it acts as our universal relaxer. It helps to reduce tension on all levels: physiological, physical, and emotional. It relaxes blood vessels and muscles to lower blood pressure4 andreduce headaches5. It calms the nervous system to promote sleep and alleviate pain. It also relaxes the mind to reduce feelings ofstress and anxiety6.
When we don’t get enough magnesium from the diet, we tend to experience symptoms of tension and discomfort. Over the long term, inadequate magnesium intake puts us at increased risk for developing osteoporosis, migraines, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease7.
Here are some signsthat you may benefit from magnesium:
- Headaches or migraines
- Muscle aches and pains
- Feeling stress or anxiety
- Insomnia or restlessness at night
- Concern that you are not eating a balanced diet
- Individuals with digestive disorders that lower the absorption of magnesium, including SIBO, Celiac disease, and Crohn’s disease
- Individuals taking acid-blocking medications3
- People who consume alcohol, are over the age of 65, or have type 2 diabetes are more likely to have lowmagnesium3
Magnesium (from gluconate and citrate)
- A mineral supplement used to prevent and treat low levels of magnesium.
- Highly absorbable and bioavailableforms of magnesiumthataregentle on digestion and unlikely to cause loose stool or digestive upset.
Magnesium is an essential nutrient that helps with over 600 functions in the body2. It helps us to relax, alleviates pain, lowers blood pressure, and reduces anxiety. Over time, inadequate magnesium intake can increase our risk of osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease7.

- Eat a variety of magnesium-rich foods, including kale, spinach, pumpkin seeds, chia, almonds, cashews, black beans, edamame, dark chocolate and brown rice3.
- Be mindful of taking zinc, acid-blocking medications, or diuretics, as they can lower the amount of magnesium in the body3.

About 40% of Canadians consume less than the Estimated Average Requirement of magnesium1. Lab testing of serum magnesium is, unfortunately, not helpful for understanding our magnesium status2. Instead, we need to assess our nutritional intake of magnesium to understand if we are getting enough of this essential nutrient.
Adults should aim to get at least 420mg of magnesium daily3, butthis can be challenging to consistently achieve, even with a healthy diet.Salus Magnesium provideshighly bioavailable magnesium to help us achieve daily optimal magnesium intake.
