Magnesium is the second most prevalent electrolyte in the human body. Magnesium deficiencies are common in developed countries due to the dominance of grains in the diet, which are poor sources of magnesium. Better sources of magnesium include nuts and leafy vegetables, but these are eaten infrequently in the western world.
Magnesium can be supplemented to attenuate a deficiency, it acts as a sedative, reduces blood pressure and improves insulin sensitivity leading to better management of blood sugar and long-term health.
DY Nutrition magnesium comes in the form of Magnesium Citrate. Peer-reviewed evidence states that this is a better choice for supplementation due to its favourable absorption, resulting in less digestive side-effects such as bloating, or diarrhoea associated with other, cheaper forms of magnesium.
