Magnesium and potassium were not getting into me in enough quantities through my diet, so I started taking a supplement a few months ago. Muscle cramping - gone. Fatigue - gone. Poor sleep quality - gone.
I use a free phone app called MyFitnessPal, which has made keeping track of my caloric and nutrient intake and physical activity in a lot easier. My energy levels have improved a lot, and my weight is down and my muscle strength up.
I take magnesium for anxiety, lack of mg causes the brains fight or flight response to activate.
Well after reading this, I went and bought some. I will see if it helps.
