Studies show that magnesium can soothe insomnia, support heart health, normalize blood sugar, relieve headaches and ease menopause symptoms

1. Magnesium Supports the Heart, Headaches, Blood Sugar,
Menopause and Good Sleep
Magnesium deficiency is very common these
days. A recent government study shows that
68% of Americans do not consume the
recommended daily intake of magnesium,
which is 400 milligrams per day. Magnesium
can be found in foods such as green leafy
vegetables, black beans, pumpkin seeds,
almonds, avocados, figs, bananas, brown rice,
and other beans, nuts and seeds. Magnesium
supplements are a good option as well,
particularly those containing magnesium citrate which is very absorbable.
Sidney Baker, M.D., a practicing doctor with a special interest in the nutritional aspects
of chronic health problems says: "Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ
and system of the body. One may experience muscle twitches, cramps, soreness, back
aches, neck pain, tension headaches, and fatigue or weakness.”
Studies show that magnesium can soothe insomnia, support heart health, normalize
blood sugar, relieve headaches and ease menopause symptoms. In one study from the
University of Iran, people with insomnia were given magnesium tablets twice a day for
eight weeks. They experienced significant increases in quality sleep time, with less night
time interruptions and fewer early morning awakenings.
Magnesium helps regulate blood sugar. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public
Health evaluated the dietary intake of specific nutrients for more than 85,000 women and
42,000 men. They found that the men and women whose diets included the largest
amounts of magnesium were the least likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Most of the
participants consumed magnesium through foods, such as whole grains, nuts and green
leafy vegetables.
Studies have found that people with migraine headaches have low concentrations of
magnesium in their body. The word “cephalalgia” literally means head pain or headache.
In a German study of 81 migraine patients published in the journal “Cephalalgia”, 42
percent of the people taking oral magnesium reduced both the duration and intensity of
their migraine attacks. They also reduced their reliance on medications to control
migraines.
One supplement shown to be helpful for insomnia and pain is Sleep Minerals II from
Nutrition Breakthroughs. This formula contains highly absorbable forms of calcium
citrate and magnesium citrate, the best minerals for sleeplessness and insomnia, as well
as for heart health, restless legs syndrome, bone strength and menopause insomnia. It

2. also includes vitamin D and zinc and is delivered in a softgel form with healthy carrier
oils, making it more quickly absorbable than tablets or capsules and providing a deeper,
longer-lasting sleep.
L.R.C. of Massachusetts says: "I had become dependent on sleeping drugs and
couldn’t sleep without them. Now I take the Sleep Minerals before bed and I can sleep
through the night without drugs. I’m also able to easily fall back to sleep if I do have to
get up. Another benefit is it helps alleviate my chronic fatigue and aches and pains."
This health news is shared by Nutrition Breakthroughs, maker of the original calcium and
magnesium based natural sleep aid with magnesium citrate, Sleep Minerals II, as well as
Joints and More, the natural solution for joint relief, aches and pains, stronger hair and
nails, and more energy.
