Magnesium 101

Magnesium 101

Did you know magnesium aids in over 600 bodily reactions? Did you also know a large percentage of the US population is magnesium deficient? This is why one of the pillars of SWW™ is replenishing our minerals, aka “mineralizing.” Let’s talk about why.

Why do we need magnesium?
  • Supports healthy bone density
  • Assists in muscle recovery
  • Regulates the nervous system and supports a healthy mood
  • Balances blood sugar
  • Improves digestion
Shouldn’t we be getting magnesium from our fruits and vegetables naturally?
In theory, absolutely. However, our soil is increasingly depleted in magnesium. It’s estimated that over 50% of the population is not getting the recommended daily amount of magnesium.

There’s more than just one kind of Magnesium (and they aren’t all created equally):

Magnesium we would avoid:
  • Citrate: Easily absorbed and found in many products on the market, but acts as a laxative in excess amounts—a cheaper form of magnesium.
  • Oxide: Poorly absorbed and functions as a laxative. It can soothe heartburn and indigestion.
  • Carbonate: Should not be used in high doses due to laxative properties. Another form that aids in battling symptoms of acid reflux.
Magnesium we love:
  • Glycinate: One of the most easily absorbed forms of magnesium that doesn’t impact the digestive system negatively. This form calms the brain and body, promoting better sleep and supporting a healthy stress response.
  • Taurinate: Supports a healthy cardiovascular system and helps balance blood sugar.
  • Gluconate: This form is the most easily absorbed, which makes it the most effective for severe magnesium depletion.
  • Magnesium L-threonate: This is the newest form of magnesium on the market. Studies have shown that it is effective in improving cognitive function and memory.

We are excited to launch our in-house minerals blend, SWW™ Restore! This product does the work of what would typically be a 3-4 supplement cocktail.
  • Add one sachet of our new SWW™ Restore minerals to a glass of water before bed.
