Magnesium can be a miracle nutrient for many reasons. It can help if you are stressed, having trouble sleeping, and supports electrolyte balance for muscle relaxation, cardiovascular health, and energy production.
However, it is very common to be deficient in magnesium. Our Nutritionist, Savannah Cass, shares her recipe for a magnesium smoothie. This smoothie contains 400mg of magnesium which is the recommended daily amount.

Ingredients:
1 frozen banana
1 cup of frozen strawberries

1 cup of raw spinach

It can be challenging to get the daily recommendation of magnesium through diet alone. Our Functional Medicine experts recommend our “3-in-1” formula of magnesium (di-magnesium malate, magnesium cirate and magnesium glycinate) to ensure absorption and digestive comfort.
