4. The Power Mineral: Magnesium — Your Nightly Ritual
If your muscles feel tight, or if you wake up feeling stiff, magnesium could be your missing mineral.
This essential nutrient is responsible for over 300 reactions in the body, including muscle relaxation, nerve balance, and joint recovery. It helps regulate inflammation, supports sleep, and allows your muscles to release tension overnight.
Best Forms of Magnesium
Choose easily absorbed types such as:
Magnesium glycinate
Magnesium bisglycinate
Magnesium chelate
Avoid magnesium oxide — it’s poorly absorbed and can upset your stomach.
How to Take It
Dosage: Around 800 mg at night, one hour before bed
Cycle: Use for 6–8 weeks, then take a one-month break before restarting
By improving magnesium intake, you’ll likely notice better sleep, fewer cramps, and more relaxed joints — a true nighttime recovery boost.
