Magnesium is naturally present in food (inorganic forms) . Plants absorb it from the soil and that is why it is also in our food. You can get magnesium through food, for example through green leafy vegetables, bananas, almonds, Brazil nuts, but also in grain products, kernels, seeds, meat and dairy.

Why Supplement Magnesium?
When you eat a varied diet you get magnesium through food. However, it is also about the quality of magnesium that the body receives and whether your body can absorb it . And so it is more difficult to get enough magnesium than you may think.
- The use of pesticides and fertilizers, among other things, depletes the soil and our food contains fewer nutrients.
- The form of magnesium found in plants has only a low bioavailability (inorganic forms).
- The magnesium in grain products is not easily absorbed because it contains phytic acid. This substance prevents the absorption of magnesium.
The above reasons ensure that many people have to deal with a (too) low magnesium level. Magnesium supplements (organic forms) can be a solution to increase the magnesium level.
magnesium pregnancy
During pregnancy, the need for magnesium increases. For the growth of the baby, the body needs 20 to 40% more magnesium. Extra magnesium is also recommended for the mother during breastfeeding.
magnesium stress
The more stress the more magnesium your body consumes. This applies to both physical and mental stress. In stressful periods, it is therefore extra wise to eat more magnesium-rich foods and to supplement with magnesium.
But it is also advisable to take a magnesium supplement as a preventative measure. The lower the magnesium level in the cells, the more sensitive you are to stress. You end up in a vicious circle.
Magnesium transition
Magnesium is an important mineral during menopause. Among other things, it plays a role in the formation of strong bones and hormone production. When the hormone balance changes during the transition, annoying complaints such as hot flashes, fatigue and insomnia can arise.
