MAGNESIUM & WOMEN 40+: WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW
Sis, once you hit 40, your body starts sending little “Hey girl, we need to talk” messages.
Magnesium isn’t just a supplement, it’s a powerhouse mineral that helps over 300 functions in the body. But women 40+ have unique needs thanks to hormonal shifts, stress, sleep changes, perimenopause, and increased inflammation.
Translation: magnesium becomes your quiet little best friend.
Here’s your no-nonsense cheat sheet to choosing the right type for what your body is asking for:
💙 Magnesium Glycinate (Bisglycinate) – Relaxation & Sleep
If your mind still wants to do laundry at midnight,
Glycinate helps calm the nervous system, ease tension, and support deep, restorative sleep. Perfect for women balancing careers, family, and whole empires like you.
💙 Magnesium Citrate – Constipation & Detox
Listen… when hormones shift, digestion doesn’t always stay on schedule. Citrate gently gets things moving and helps your body detox more efficiently.
💙 Magnesium Malate – Energy & Chronic Muscle Pain
Feeling that “Why am I tired for no reason?” fatigue?
Malate supports natural energy production and helps with muscle tightness, especially for active women and those managing
perimenopause-related aches.
💙 Magnesium Threonate – Cognition & Memory
Names, dates, passwords… all suddenly doing the cha-cha out of your mind?
Threonate is the only form proven to cross the blood–brain barrier and support memory, focus, and overall cognitive clarity.
💙 Magnesium Taurate – Heart & Blood Sugar Support
Women 40+ need to take heart health seriously. Taurate supports cardiovascular function and helps balance blood sugar, especially helpful for stress eaters and women with metabolic concerns.
💙 Magnesium Chloride (Topical) – Muscle Recovery
If you’re carrying stress in your shoulders like it's a designer purse.
Chloride absorbs well through the skin to soothe tension, reduce soreness, and support overall muscle recovery.
💙 Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) – Soreness, Detox & Fluid Retention
Soak it out.
Perfect for tired feet, stiff muscles, headaches, and those “I need a minute” evenings. Great for women dealing with inflammation, bloating, or stress-induced soreness.
💙 Magnesium Oxide – Heartburn & Migraines
If hormones have your head pounding or your stomach burning, oxide can help, but it’s not the best form for absorption. Use it for symptom relief, not daily support.
Always, check with your medical doctors before starting any new supplements to make sure they guide you in the best solution for your needs
✨ Why Women 40+ Need Magnesium More Than Ever
Because life is life-ing. But also because this stage of womanhood naturally brings:
• Hormonal changes (hello, perimenopause)
• Increased stress + cortisol
• Sleep disturbances
• Blood sugar fluctuations
• Muscle tension
• Mood changes
• Energy dips
• Heart health considerations
Magnesium supports ALL of this, gently, naturally, and consistently.
✨ Quick Tip
Most women don’t need just one type. Many blend two depending on the need, for example, Glycinate at night and Malate in the morning.
✨ Final Word
Taking care of your health isn’t selfish, it’s stewardship. The more aligned your body feels, the more you can show up as the woman God called you to be: strong, wise, rested, and purpose-driven.
