Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that 68% of Americans don't get enough magnesium — and the deficiency is linked to anxiety, poor sleep, muscle cramps, and heart disease.
Why You're Likely Deficient
- Modern soil depletion has reduced magnesium in crops by 30%
- Processed foods strip magnesium during manufacturing
- Stress, alcohol, and caffeine deplete magnesium reserves
- RDA: 400-420mg for men, 310-320mg for women
Best Forms of Magnesium
Not all magnesium supplements are equal: glycinate for sleep and anxiety, threonate for cognitive function, citrate for digestion, and taurate for heart health. Avoid oxide — it has the lowest absorption rate at just 4%.
