Q&A
Why do we need magnesium supplement?
In modern age living, we often encounter various stressful life circumstances, pollution from the environment, food additives in our diet, etc., all these cause the magnesium in our body continuously depleting. In addition, lack of sleep, coffee addiction, drug dependence, and high-sugar, high-fat, and high-phosphate diets can also accelerate the depletion of magnesium.
Which magnesium supplement should I choose?
Research report shows that magnesium citrate has the highest bioavailability amongst many magnesium nutritional products, so it has the highest clinical utilization as well.
