Importance of sleep


During sleep people rest and get their strength back. Most of the organs rest, and cells rejuvenate and get ready to the next day. Brain needs sleep too. Concentration and ability to cope with various situations increases after good sleep.

Why do people lose good sleep?


There are many reasons why people cannot sleep. Stress is the main reason why people cannot relax properly. They overthink, try to solve problems at the night instead having a good rest.

Additionally, some conditions interfere with sleep quality. These conditions are

  • Alcohol
  • Constipation
  • Heart disease
  • Hormone shifts
  • Heartburn
  • Nighttime cortisol surges
  • Pain
  • Pounding heart beat
  • Depression
  • Dementia
  • Arthritis
  • ADHD
  • OCD
  • Caffeine
  • Bad recovery from exercises

All these conditions are associated with magnesium deficiency. It happened to me a few times when I awoke at night feeling terrible cramps in my legs. It was a painful experience because of my inability to stretch my foot.

I did not understand at this time what the reason was this unbearable pain. Later on, I learned that magnesium deficiency causes cramps in legs.

Of course, what kind of quality can you expect when your legs are in pain?

Do magnesium supplements help for sleep?


Magnesium helps to relax, relieving muscles. However, not all supplements are the same.

For example, magnesium oxide will keep you awake all night. Why? This supplement absorbs only in the 4% range. It means that you get only a minuscule portion of magnesium, and the rest goes down the drain.

It is not fun to visit the bathroom often instead of resting nicely in bed. Laxative effects of magnesium oxide overcome positive effects on sleep.

Is a magnesium supplement without laxative effect?


Yes, angstrom minerals and pico-ionic liquid magnesium supplements do not cause laxative effects.

Magnesium ions are so small that they reach cells directly, avoiding the intestines where all fun starts, I mean diarrhea or something similar.

Magnesium angstrom minerals and pico-ionic magnesium work similarly. However, pico-ionic magnesium is twenty times more condensed compared with angstrom minerals. It is apparent that you will get more potent doses of magnesium if you pick pico-ionic liquid instead angstrom minerals.

Wrapping up


Magnesium helps with sleep because of its ability to relax muscles and calm nerves. Picking the right magnesium supplement will help you avoid unnecessary spending time in the place where kings walk.
