Building a Science-Backed Formula for Optimized Sleep Around Magnesium

The answer to maintaining high-quality sleep lies in a mix of healthy lifestyle habits and nutrition. The nutrition portion, specifically, involves your daily supply of the essential, multitasking mineral—magnesium.*

Research suggests strong ties between magnesium and sleep. Understanding how magnesium supports healthy sleep can open the door for restful nights ahead.*

Magnesium and Muscles

Supplementing your diet with magnesium can help tight muscles feel calm. And for the nights you need help to relax the magnesium in Mineral Calm could be just the thing to support more restful sleep.*

Muscle tension doesn’t occur only at night. Active adults and athletes may find that cramps and tight muscles interfere with their exercise. Because magnesium promotes healthy muscle function, Mineral Calm can support healthy muscle recovery after exercise. Taken before or after a workout, Mineral Calm helps maintain healthy muscles so you can avoid discomfort later on.*

Magnesium maintains calm muscles because it has an important role in muscle contraction. Your muscles rely on calcium and magnesium to contract and relax. Calcium binds to proteins in muscle fibers during contraction. When the movement is over, magnesium blocks the calcium binding sites, leading to muscle relaxation.*

Without magnesium to step in between calcium and muscle fibers, your body would be in a constant state of contraction. And if your stores of magnesium are low, cramps, jitters, and muscle spasms can follow.

Help support a healthy, relaxed state before bedtime with magnesium. A multitasking mineral with benefits that support bone and muscle health. Sometimes all that stands between you and a good night’s rest is muscle tension. Rest your muscles and maintain calm with the magnesium found in Mineral Calm.*

Magnesium and the Brain

It’s not just muscle health that magnesium can optimize. Researchers are beginning to establish a relationship between magnesium levels and healthy mood.*

If anxious thought or muscle tension isn’t what’s keeping you awake at night, chances are you have a hard time feeling tired enough to fall asleep. Neurotransmitters in your brain are in charge of communicating “bedtime” signals to the rest of your body. Magnesium works right alongside these neurotransmitters to prepare you for bed.*

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is one such neurotransmitter. GABA quiets your brain and body by turning off wakefulness and quieting nerve activity. Magnesium binds to GABA to help this process along.*

Melatonin is another neurotransmitter that relies on magnesium. The “sleep hormone” melatonin triggers drowsiness as your eyes are exposed to increasing darkness (think of sunset or dim lighting). Melatonin promotes sleepiness and needs magnesium to do its job optimally.*

Magnesium regulates the amount melatonin secreted in your brain. Healthy levels of magnesium optimize melatonin production—encouraging sleepiness to come on naturally.*

Magnesium isn’t the only ingredient in Mineral Calm that makes bedtime a breeze. The formula includes other fragrant and functional ingredients. Check them out below.

Potassium

Bananas first come to mind whenever you mention potassium. If you’ve ever felt tight or sore after exercise, you may have even eaten one to soothe your muscles. That’s because bananas are full of potassium—a mineral that also works in muscle fibers.*

Potassium supports your body’s ability to maintain optimal pH in your muscles. Too acidic or basic of an environment and your muscles begin to lose their power. You can feel fatigued and sore. Potassium keeps the fluids and tissues surrounding the muscles at a comfortable pH. That way they stay strong and work well for you.

Older adults especially need potassium to maintain their muscles and bones because they weaken with age. When the pH of muscle fibers shifts from alkaline to acidic, muscle loss can occur.*

So, it’s important to maintain healthy levels of potassium in your body for overall health. Mineral Calm supports the potassium your muscles need. Making recovery after exercise more comfortable and preserving your muscle health.*

Natural Lemon-Ginger Flavors

Scent plays an important part in relaxation. Picture your favorite candle, soap, or fragrance. Your sense of smell is directly connected with your brain to conjure up powerful memories—especially soothing ones.*

The Mineral Calm formula takes this scent-brain connection into account. Including natural lemon-ginger flavors in the Mineral Calm beverage enhances the experience is with a calming aroma and taste. Both pleasant and palatable, lemon-ginger is a comforting, soothing flavor.*
