It\u2019s a low-risk, high-reward addition to your wellness stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Move over, melatonin. There is a new sleep aid in town, and it\u2019s actually an essential mineral. Magnesium is having a major moment in the wellness world, with influencers mixing &#8220;sleepy girl mocktails&#8221; and swearing by its anxiety-busting powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For once, the hype aligns with the science.

It\u2019s gentle on the stomach and highly absorbable. Great for sleep and anxiety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Magnesium Citrate:<\/strong> This pulls water into your intestines. It\u2019s great if you are constipated, but if you take too much, you\u2019ll be running to the bathroom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Magnesium Oxide:<\/strong> Cheap and common, but poorly absorbed. Generally, skip this one unless a doctor prescribes it for heartburn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with a low dose in the evening and see if you feel that subtle &#8220;un-clenching&#8221; of your muscles and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources Cited:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychology Today.
