The Great "Magnesium Conspiracy

Could magnesium deficiency be one of the greatest health conspiracies in history?

Let’s be clear: magnesium is THE single most studied mineral in existence, powering over 300 critical, life-saving reactions in your body. Thousands of studies have shown its benefits for the heart, energy, metabolism, immunity, sleep, pain, and more. Renowned experts, including two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling and top M.D.s from Harvard, recommended daily magnesium supplementation.

But there’s a problem. Modern agriculture has stripped our soil and diet of magnesium, leaving up to 80% of the population deficient. The food and supplement industries have fed us “magnesium” that doesn’t solve the problem because it’s synthetic and low-grade, making it hard for our bodies to absorb. Plus, most products only contain 1-3 forms of magnesium, while our bodies need all 7 forms.

Given how essential magnesium is for stress, sleep, heart health, and energy, this deficiency is a critical issue.

The Good News: When your body gets all the magnesium it needs, in all the necessary forms and dosages, the benefits are miraculous. If you're only taking one form of magnesium, you’re still deficient.
