No need to feel tired all the time with Magnesium+

Magnesium is an essential mineral for all aspects of health, from muscles to bones, heart health, immunity, mood and even just a good night’s sleep – and it’s vital for fighting tiredness and fatigue.

Amazingly, more than half of us in the UK aren’t getting our daily recommende­d magnesium intake from our diets. More and more Brits are now discoverin­g the link between a lack of magnesium and persistent low energy, and finding that a supplement can help, like 67-year old Ingrid Ord, a psychother­apist based in Warwick.

‘We moved into our house in December and there was so much I wanted to do. And I realised that I was utterly exhausted. I found I was doing nothing, just the absolute basics. And I was desperate.’

Then Ingrid read about a supplement called Magnesium+* developed by Futureyou Cambridge, a leading food supplement company known for making formulatio­ns backed by extensive scientific research.

‘I looked at the research and I liked the science behind the supplement. I thought, right, I like this – let’s try it. I’ll do it for three months, and see if there’s any improvemen­t.

Now I find that, after a bit of a rest, I feel more physical energy so I can do a few things around the house. I feel rejuvenate­d.

I can walk more, which is very important for me – I’ve got two beautiful rescue dogs, and love to have fun with them walking in the fields.’

Unlike supplement­s that use magnesium oxide, Magnesium+ uses a naturally-occurring mineral called magnesium lactate, which is adept at optimising and maintainin­g levels of magnesium in the body.

‘Magnesium oxide may contain a high amount of magnesium but it’s not easily released into the body,’ explains Dr Miriam Ferrer PHD, head of product developmen­t at Futureyou Cambridge.

‘Taking more magnesium to try and make up for the problem isn’t the best approach, as too much can cause an upset stomach and other unpleasant gastrointe­stinal side effects.’
