Everyone is talking about magnesium right now — and for good reason.
It’s involved in over 300 processes in the body, including sleep, stress, muscle recovery, and energy production.But here’s what most people don’t realise:
Magnesium supplementation alone often falls short if your Vitamin D levels are not optimal. The Important Connection Between Vitamin D, Magnesium, Vitamin D and magnesium work together in a beautiful partnership.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb magnesium from the gut. At the same time, magnesium is required to activate Vitamin D in the body.When your Vitamin D levels are low, your body can struggle to absorb magnesium properly — no matter how much you take. Even worse, it may start pulling magnesium from your bones and muscles to try and keep things functioning. This can leave you feeling like magnesium “isn’t working” for you.The Cycle Many People Are Stuck In
You feel tired, anxious, have muscle cramps or poor sleep
You start taking magnesium (often in high doses)
You don’t feel much better
You wonder why it’s not helping…
The missing piece? Vitamin D. My Recommendation Before loading up on magnesium, I always recommend checking your Vitamin D levels first. Once Vitamin D is brought into an optimal range, magnesium becomes far more effective and your body can actually use it properly — instead of robbing it from your bones.This is why at Boost and Glow we never recommend random supplementation. We look at the full picture with proper testing so we can create a plan that truly works for your body. If you’ve been taking magnesium for a while and still feel like something is missing, it might be time to check your Vitamin D.
