Despite what you may see in the adverts, there is no one product that is going to revolutionise your health and wellbeing and make all of your fitness dreams come true - you still have to do the work.

The products listed below are sensible choices that will not give you a six pack without doing a crunch but they will give you an edge in the long term. Think of them as 0.1% improvements that when repeated over and again, start to add up.

Magnesium

Magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzyme reactions within the body making it an essential macromineral.  It is crucial for maintaining muscle, nerve, and bone health.  Magnesium is needed to activate vitamin D within the body which helps regulate other essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorous and potassium.  Even with a well-balanced diet, many people could still be at risk of magnesium deficiency.  Stress, refined sugar, caffeine, alcohol and processed foods can lead to the depletion of magnesium.  

Supplementing with magnesium can help support;

·      Bone health

·      Cardiovascular health

·      Relief of migraine headaches

·      Relief of premenstrual syndrome

·      Mood

·      Sleep quality

Magnesium glycinate is gentle on the stomach and is easier to absorb than other forms of magnesium.
