Magnesium - The often overlooked micronutrient

I have augmented my diet with magnesium supplements for several years.  I, like many people, believed I was getting ample amounts of magnesium from my diet.  Despite this, I noticed I was experiencing more cramps in my legs the morning after hard training runs or races as I got older.  I had recalled reading about the importance of magnesium for numerous biochemical functions and that you deplete your magnesium through exercise.

Katy and I started out drinking Natural Calm every evening before retiring to bed.  Low and behold, both of us stopped experiencing cramping almost immediately.

We have since augmented the Natural Calm with Natural Stacks Magtech, which is a broader spectrum source of magnesium, including L-Threonate, which aids cognitive function and memory.

Below are two great videos by Dr. Rhonda Patrick concerning the role magnesium plays in health.  I encourage you to watch these videos and to go to http://www.foundmyfitness.com to check out her other great content.
