I've been using magnesium for about 5 years now and love it. I started off by drinking Natural Calm which is marketed as an “anti stress drink" as a new mother.
I find using magnesium to be relaxing due to its use in regulating muscle and nerve functions. But it is also a nutrient utilized in our bodies to help regulate blood sugar levels, making it helpful for curbing late night cravings. I have a cup of raspberry herbal tea almost every night with raspberry-lemon magnesium and honey. Its such a relaxing routine.
Some of my favorite and most used magnesium supplements
During this most recent pregnancy I have also used a magnesium enriched coconut lotion nightly, made by 8 Sheep Organics. I find it helpful for relaxing muscles (restless legs, sore back) as well as for stretch mark prevention on my stomach.
I highly recommend incorporating magnesium into your diet (but start slow--too much can cause frequent bathroom trips, eek!). It is estimated that around 50% of Americans are not consuming enough magnesium, which is typically found in leafy greens, so it is a great way to add that nutrient into your daily diet.
