The trendy '奇蹟 cure' that helps you sleep: Everything you need to know about magnesium and how to 選ぶ the 権利 補足（する）s to 上げる anything from 免疫 to 神経 機能（する）／行事

• e-mail

Move over, CBD; off you pop, ビタミン D and 麻薬を吸う 負かす／撃墜する, collagen ? because now magnesium is having a moment.

Yes, there’s a newly 傾向ing health-上げるing wonder 補足（する） in town. It’s big news on TikTok, where #sleepygirlmocktail has clocked up 103 million 見解（をとる）s ? Gen Z can’t get enough of this sleep-inducing, pre-bed tipple, mixing magnesium 砕く with melatonin-rich cherry juice.?

一方／合間, nutritionist Pippa Campbell, author?of Eat 権利, Lose 負わせる and whose 充てるs 含む Gabby Logan??and Zoe Ball, 公式文書，認めるs that her Magnesium コンビナート／複合体 (£39.44 for 90g, pippacampbellhealth.com), which supports ‘緩和, energy and muscle 機能（する）／行事’, is now the 最高の，を越す 販売人 in her 範囲 of 補足（する）s.

And over on Instagram, you can barely move for biohackers (a polite 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 for people with too much time/money who become insanely obsessed with their health) espousing the virtues of dri nking water pimped with electrolytes,? of which magnesium is one, to 改善する 集中 and physical 業績／成果.

‘Magnesium is an 必須の mineral that is important for many different 過程s in the 団体／死体 ? these 含む muscle and 神経 機能（する）／行事, the 免疫の system, energy 生産／産物, sleep and bone health,’ says GP Dr Gemma Newman, author of Get

井戸／弁護士席, Stay 井戸／弁護士席. ‘This hasn’t changed, though ? it already did that before it was a 傾向.’?

One of the 推論する／理由s that magnesium has struck such a chord is that it can help with a multitude of 問題／発行するs. These 含む poor sleep, 強調する／ストレス, 苦悩, hormonal 不均衡s, 頭痛s, migraines, sore muscles and 回復 ? Alexa, show me a tick-名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of a midlife woman’s health problems!

A 補足（する）s 産業 insider told me that sales of 製品s 含む／封じ込めるing CBD (cannabidiol, derived from the hemp 工場／植物), which has become hugely popular as a stressbuster and sleep-inducer, are now starting to 落ちる, in part because women realise that magnesium can do all that and much more. And who doesn’t love a multitasker?

‘Everyone is 強調する／ストレスd and can’t sleep,’ as Campbell pithily puts it. ‘So I rarely find someone who doesn’t 利益 from a magnesium 補足（する）.’

Sleep is, of course, our 現在の 集団の／共同の health obsession ? I’m panic-令状ing this because my Oura （犯罪の）一味 health-tracker is chiding me for notching up only five hours 17 minutes of shuteye last night ? and, thankfully, magnesium is a godsend.

‘It helps 規制する Gaba, our 静めるing neurotransmitter, and as a result relaxes both mind and 団体／死体 and 援助（する）s sleep,’ says Campbell.

Indeed, as soon as we’re done here, I’ll be 製図／抽選 a hot bath generously seasoned with Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate). For topical use, 明白に ? I won’t drink it. That’s another tick for magnesium ? although 研究 is 限られた／立憲的な, it does appear to work topically 同様に as orally.

‘People are becoming much more magnesium savvy about the different types and its many 有益な uses,’ says 略奪する Hobson, nutritionist at ビタミン and 補足（する） specialist Healthspan. However, you must do your 研究 and read the 成分s 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s carefully ? there are 多重の types of magnesium, all with different 利益s.?

While magnesium sulphate, for example, is good?for muscle 回復, bisglycinate (also called glycinate) is a solid all-rounder that can help with low mood, 苦悩 and sleep. Malate can 上げる energy, while citrate is useful for 脚 cramps and 扱う／治療するing constipation.?

Healthspan now receives a flurry of queries from parents around exam time about magnesium 補足（する）s for their 強調する／ストレスd, insomniac 十代の少年少女s, says Hobson. ‘We know from 研究 that the 普通の／平均（する） intake of magnesium for this age group is only 67 per cent of the recommended daily 量,’ he 追加するs.

The recommended daily dose of magnesium for adults, によれば the NHS, is 270mg for women 老年の 19-64 and 300mg for men in the same age group.?

Many health 専門家s believe that a large 割合?of adults, like 十代の少年少女s, are deficient, although 見積（る）s of by how much 変化させる, because magnesium levels are not routinely 実験（する）d. (You can, however, 支払う／賃金 for mineral 実験（する）ing at some 私的な health clinics.) 調印するs of 欠陥／不足 may 含む muscle cramps, twitching eyelids or restless 脚s.

If you 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑う your levels of magnesium need a 上げる, your first stop should be to look at your diet. ‘I always take a food-first approach. You can get magnesium from nuts, seeds, wholegrains, leafy greens, legumes and dark chocolate,’ says Dr Newman.

She 認めるs, however, that 使い果たすd mineral levels in 国／地域 (予定 to modern farming methods) and the rise of ultra-過程d foods may mean we’re getting いっそう少なく magnesium from our diets than we need. ‘And if you’re 強調する／ストレスd, you plough through the magnesium in your 団体／死体,’ says Campbell. ‘You might get it all from your diet, but you’re using it all up.’?

You can also lose magnesium 経由で 激しい sweating and menstrual 血. So, 補足（する）s can have their place, and magnesium ? as an 必須の mineral that’s used so 広範囲にわたって within the 団体／死体 ? is a low-危険 one to try.

‘Just be aware that the absorption and bioavailability [how 井戸／弁護士席 it’s used by the 団体／死体] of different types may 変化させる, and also of recommended doses,’ says Dr Newman.

‘If you’re not sleeping 井戸／弁護士席, are 強調する／ストレスd, have migraines or hormonal 問題／発行するs, then try? a magnesium 補足（する） and see how you get on,’ says Campbell. ‘Take it for a week ? or for PMS 問題／発行するs for a 月毎の cycle ? and don’t make any other changes to your diet and lifestyle during this time. You should know やめる quickly if it 作品 for you.’

Say no more ? I’ll 直す／買収する，八百長をする us a 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of sleepy girl mocktails, pronto.?
