Magnesium is one of the most vital nutrients used by the body with jobs ranging from aiding calcium with bone composition to signaling the relaxation of tight muscles. It is needed for nearly every chemical reaction that turns glucose into energy and offers a gentle approach for calming anxiety, relieving constipation, migraine prevention, relaxing sore muscles and boosting energy levels. 
HOW TO USE MAGNESIUM*: Magnesium is relatively safe for children and adults – the main concern being that everyone has a different tolerance for dosing. If you take too much magnesium for your body, then you will likely experience loose stools.
BY MOUTH: Magnesium comes in powder, liquid and capsule forms. It is often recommended to take magnesium before bed as it can help prevent insomnia and support a better night’s sleep. Dosing can range from 150mg – 500mg once or twice per day.
SOAK IN IT: Epsom salts are composed of Magnesium Sulfate and when added to a warm bath (2 cups is a good therapeutic dose), the nutrients soak into the muscle tissue and release tension and stress while also offering mild detoxification support.
