Join Chris Newport, functional sports nutritionist, to discuss magnesium. It's a critical mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions, yet 50-60% of both the general population and endurance athletes fail to consume adequate amounts through diet alone.
Here's what we review:
• What percentage of people actually get the RDA for magnesium
• How endurance training decreases magnesium levels in red blood cells
• Why heavy sweaters may need to increase magnesium intake
• Common food sources
• Different types of magnesium supplements offer varying benefits, including oxide, citrate, glycinate, malate, l-threonate and more
• Benefits of magnesium, like improved sleep, reduced muscle cramps, decreased inflammation, better cardiovascular health, and mood enhancement
• Why starting with a certain dose is important
