How does magnesium supplements help with better sleep? what's the science of it? and what are the other benifets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treats deficiency: I'm not sure magnesium will help someone sleep if they have sufficient magnesium, but only 32% of americans get adequate magnesium in their diets. Magnesium deficiency is widespread not only due to lack in diet but alcohol. Stress ; many drugs cause magnesium depletion. Low magnesium causes insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, muscle spasms, high blood pressure, headaches etc. See http://bit.Ly/1dpai09.
