The Power of Magnesium
Magnesium isn’t just important—it’s essential. It plays a critical role in over 300 biochemical processes in the body, impacting everything from nerve function and muscle recovery to sleep quality and stress levels. Every organ, including your heart, kidneys, and brain, requires magnesium to function properly. Here’s the kicker: despite its importance, up to 75% of us aren’t getting enough magnesium. This widespread shortfall has earned magnesium the nickname “the invisible deficiency.” It’s easy to miss, but its effects are far-reaching. Low magnesium can contribute to poor sleep, muscle cramps, fatigue, and even heightened stress levels. That’s why we’ve included a high dose of 300mg of elemental magnesium in our Rest & Recover. This isn’t just about helping you relax—it’s about giving your body what it needs to support muscle function, regulate your nervous system, and optimize recovery while you sleep.
Why Magnesium Matters
Magnesium’s benefits don’t stop with biochemical processes. It helps:
- Regulate the nervous system: Magnesium calms your nerves and reduces the stress response, making it easier to relax and drift into sleep.
- Support muscle recovery: After a workout or a long day, your muscles need magnesium to properly repair and function. Without it, you’re more prone to cramps and stiffness.
- Improve sleep patterns: Research shows that magnesium helps improve both the quantity and quality of sleep by regulating neurotransmitters involved in sleep.
Ashwagandha & Lemon Balm: Your Stress-Busting Allies
We didn’t stop at magnesium. Ashwagandha is one of nature’s most powerful adaptogens, and we’ve included 100mg of KSM-66 Ashwagandha—the most researched and trusted form of this herb. KSM-66 has tested in 24 published Gold Standard clinical trials and has clearly demonstrated its ability to reduce stress and lower cortisol levels.
Lemon Balm, meanwhile, is known for its calming effects on the mind and body.
