Magnesium bisglycinate for a balanced everyday life

Magnesium supplementation from our food?

Great sources of magnesium are pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, peanuts, spinach, almonds, cashews, cod, tuna, tofu, soybeans, or bulgur.

All humans would be able to get the minimum recommended daily intake of magnesium through a carefully planned diet, but unfortunately the best members of the above list are no longer part of our daily diet.

The other snag is that we eat many foods that make the magnesium content of the foods we eat unavailable to our bodies. These include soft drinks, caffeinated drinks (e.g. coffee) and alcohol. People who consume these have lower magnesium intakes. And sugar causes the kidneys to excrete more magnesium, so even foods with a high magnesium content can end up with a net magnesium deficiency. If one of these is in someone's daily diet, they are probably magnesium deficient, so it is worth supplementing.

Vitaking organic magnesium bisglycinate contains 220mg of elemental magnesium per daily dose (2 capsules). There are many magnesium supplements on the market, but before you choose, check what kind and how much magnesium they contain!
