Magnesium is an electrolyte that regulates various biochemical reactions in the body. It's key for cellular function, nerve conduction, and is vital for the brain, heart, and muscles to operate effectively. Additionally, magnesium contributes significantly to energy production and bone health.

Whether to supplement depends on individual needs. If dietary sources are insufficient, a supplement may be beneficial. Consider consulting a dietitian for tailored advice. For sleep support, taking 300-400 mg of magnesium citrate or glycinate one hour before bed may help, but always consult with your GP or dietitian, especially if you're on medication.
