Magnesium
Magnesium is the magical little supplement that many people don’t know about. You know about your need for vitamin C and calcium, but perhaps you didn’t know just how critical magnesium was to an overall feeling of wellbeing. It plays a role in healthy muscle function, a healthy nervous system, bone health, digestion, blood pressure, and even blood sugar levels. Men typically need around 400 mg a day and women need around 300. Taking some at bedtime can actually help you sleep better, and may result in an easier bowel movement when you wake in the morning. Don’t take more than the recommended amount, as that can cause diarrhea.
