Magnesium is Responsible for over 300 Chemical Reactions
Magnesium is a popular supplement. It is responsible for over 300 chemical reactions inside the body. It helps support calcium absorption, maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and healthy functioning of the nervous system. It helps recovery after exercise, supports muscle health, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and promotes relaxation and healthy sleep. Put simply, Magnesium is one mineral that we need every day either from an adequate diet or a supplement. You will get magnesium form nuts, seeds, in particular chia and flax seeds, legumes, tofu, whole grains, and green leafy vegetables. A healthy diet with a variety of these foods will help. It can be difficult to get enough every day. Plus, if you are stressed or not sleeping you will deplete your stores of magnesium very fast. You may need to top up with a supplement.
There are lots and lots of supplements of Magnesium that you could choose. And there are different types of it too. I know that many of you have difficulty swallowing pills and are looking for alternative ways to up your magnesium intake. BetterYou have a range of reasonably priced products that fit this bill perfectly.
Pill Free Magnesium
BetterYou Magnesium Oil Original is a spray on topical oil. It is absorbed immediately into the skin once applied. After a shower or a bath is a great time to apply as this will enhance absorption, The oil is a saturated solution of ancient seabed magnesium chloride. It is free from man-made pollutants and heavy metals. 10 sprays will deliver 200mg of magnesium per dose. It is suitable for use during pregnancy. It is brilliant that it is endorsed by Informed Sport too. There are other products within the range, for example, there's one that combines Magnesium with Chondroitin if your focus is joint health. Or for sleep you can choose BetterYou Magnesium Sleep with added essential oils to support relaxation. And I love that they have a BetterYou Sleep Spray for kids too,
BetterYou Pill Free Powders
BetterYou hasn't stopped there, they recently brought new powdered magnesium products. At first, I was weary, another Magnesium product, but, I took a closer look and I have to say that I think they look good. I think you will like them. For example, Magnesium Max Sleep sounds delicious, it's a hot chocolate drink with an effective combination of cacao. It also contains magnesium and passionflower formulated to promote deep, restful sleep and relaxation. I like seeing passionflower in sleep formulas as this is one of the herbs that work well for me. You also have the benefits of three forms of magnesium, Magnesium Glycinate, Citrate, and Malate, 250mg of elemental magnesium per dose. You take it about one hour before bed and mix 1/3 of a teaspoon in warm milk of your choice.

It could be a great option if you’re looking for something different to your usual magnesium to aid natural sleep. Each pack contains 45 servings and retails for only €17.95.

It is unflavoured so you add to a drink of your choice and your good to go. One serving provides 250mg of elemental magnesium with a 90 day supply in each pack also selling for €17.95. I think that is great value for 3 months supply.
Another addition to their range is Magnesium Water. This is a simple, pleasant tasting, effective, and pill free way to top up your magnesium level. Choose from Focus, Energy, and Hydration. Each can contain 180mg of elemental magnesium, I really like these refreshing drinks.
