Magnesium plays a role in wellbeing and hormonal health in particular:

Sleep

"Our study found a significant association between Magnesium depletion score (MDS) and sleep quality" (1)

PCOS and Pre-menstrual stress

"In clinical studies it was demonstrated that magnesium deficiency is associated with diseases and states such as dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (POS)" (2)

"magnesium supplementation could improve the markers for oxidative stress and metabolic disorders in PCOS patients"(3)

"The serum levels of HS-CRP, insulin and HOMA-IR were significantly improved by magnesium co-supplementation with other supplements." (3)

Benefits were expecially seen when taken with vitamin D and Zinc (found in our inositol infusion or prenatal formula).

Insulin resistance

Magnesium deficiency seems to worsen insulin resistance. (4)

Magnesium improved insulin resistance in those at risk of diabetes. (4)(5)

Gestational diabetes (in pregnancy)

Magnesium supplementation benefits glycemic control for gestational diabetes. (6)

Results from this meta-analysis prove the beneficial effects of magnesium supplementation in pregnant women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) (7)
