Magnesium has given me a lift
Feel energised again thanks to this magical mineral
FEELING stuck with unexplained l ow energy levels? If you’re constantly tired, then a lack of magnesium could be what’s really going on.
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, at least half of us in the UK aren’t getting the 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 levels, and finding that a supplement can help.
Take 57-year-old Nicole Hylan. ‘I was feeling particularly tired and jaded about life in late 2020,’ recalls Nicole, a retired bookkeeper from Hampshire.
Then Nicole (pictured) read about Magnesium+ developed by FutureYou Cambridge, a leading food supplement company known for making formulations backed by extensive scientific research.
‘I liked the fact that it seemed to have a good delivery system. So I tried it and was amazed.
‘Within a couple of weeks I genuinely started to feel much more perky — that’s the best word to describe it. I was less tired and more comfortable at night, so sleeping better.
‘I feel like I’ve got more energy and more desire to do stuff. I’ve taken the supplement religiously ever since.’
For Nicole, the effect wasn’t just physical. ‘Because I felt better, it just lightened my mood.
‘It was enough to start pushing my thoughts in a more positive direction. I genuinely believe it gave me the lift I needed to get me going again.’
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 to make up for the problem isn’t the best approach, as too much can cause an upset stomach and other unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.
‘Magnesium+ is twice as absorbable as a standard magnesium oxide supplement, meaning you need much less per capsule to deliver the same amount, making it a far more efficient way to take this essential mineral.’
