Sleep is a real luxury–not just getting enough of it but the quality too. Having spent many nights tossing and turning myself, the rage about magnesium supplements on social media grabbed my attention immediately. After all, who doesn't want uninterrupted, deep sleep? And if taking some magnesium in the evening helped me drift off to sleep easily then why not give it a try? But not before I found out more–here's what the experts had to say
What an expert says about sleep and magnesium
Jessica Sepel, nutritionist and founder of JSHealth Vitamins, told us. "Magnesium is a true miracle mineral that is involved in over 300 chemical processes in the body. I like to think of it as a kind of relaxation in tablet form!" confirms the expert. She is also a big fan of the trend of taking magnesium before sleep. "Magnesium is known for its relaxing effects on the muscles and its supportive function in energy production. It is a wonderful way to prepare the body for rest and the regeneration processes that take place during the night." According to the expert, magnesium can also help to lower our cortisol and therefore stress levels and support the function of our nervous system.

However, Jessica Sepel also points out that one shouldn't just take any magnesium supplement. "I recommend that my customers take magnesium as a supplement. But not all magnesium supplements are the same. The type and amount of magnesium contained are important when choosing a high-quality supplement." For example, you should look for a combination of different forms of magnesium, such as in "Advanced Magnesium+" from JS Health. "This ensures high bioavailability and an effective effect. It helps to achieve the deep, restful sleep that is so important for our general well-being. I wake up the next morning feeling energized and refreshed!" adds Jessica Sepel. For once, a social media trend may have some truth to it.
How I feel since taking magnesium every evening
I have also been testing the trend for a few weeks now and can only agree with Sepel. I fall asleep faster and wake up the next morning feeling much more rested. I also used to wake up at least once a night, but now I sleep well and wake up to my alarm feeling rested and energetic. So I give the trend a definite thumbs up!
