Magnesium's role in sleep apnea
We aimed to uncover the relationship between magnesium levels and sleep quality, particularly focusing on sleep apnea. Our study analyzed data from a large group of adults aged 20 and older, using a well-structured method to assess magnesium levels and the prevalence of sleep issues.

We found a notable connection between lower magnesium levels, measured as the magnesium depletion score (MDS), and the likelihood of experiencing sleep apnea. Specifically, individuals with higher MDS levels were significantly more likely to report sleep apnea, showing over three times the odds compared to those with adequate magnesium levels.

Interestingly, our research did not link magnesium deficiency to other sleep problems like insomnia or restless legs syndrome, suggesting a more complex relationship with sleep apnea alone. Additionally, we noticed that older adults with depressive symptoms showed a tendency toward excessive sleep rather than insufficient sleep.

While our findings highlight the association between magnesium deficiency and sleep apnea, they also point towards the potential of adequate magnesium intake in reducing this risk. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper magnesium levels for better sleep quality, especially in those at higher risk for sleep apnea.

Calmness improvement

I absolutely love magnesium malate! It relaxes me greatly. Typically, I take 2-3 tablets 30 minutes before bedtime. My sleep is sensitive; if I wake, it's hard to fall back asleep. With two small children and six years of maternity leave, sleepless nights wound me up. Now, I sleep like a marmot, and upon waking, I feel well-rested and calm. I highly recommend it to other mums!

Reduced snoring

I have sleep apnea and tend to snore, so I tried magnesium malate, which I heard is beneficial. Initially, I snored for about an hour each night, but after taking magnesium malate, this reduced to just 20 minutes. I recommend taking one tablet 30 to 60 minutes before bed to see similar results.

I have tried numerous magnesium brands over the years, including various types such as citrate, chelated, and glycinate. This magnesium malate provides me with the best results for relaxation before sleep and offers many health benefits. I have been taking it for years and will continue to do so. I appreciate the Now brand for their natural approach, avoiding harsh fillers, colours, or artificial flavours.

After experiencing mild Covid-19, I faced postcoid issues like disrupted sleep, fatigue, and irritability. Upon my nutritionist's suggestion, I started taking magnesium malate. Within two weeks, I noticed significant improvements: my sleep was normalised and I felt more energetic. My overall quality of life improved remarkably. I trust Now Foods for its natural supplement products and hope this helps others with health recovery.

Postpartum relief
4 people found this helpful
The magnesium compound with malic acid helps reduce muscle soreness and supplies energy. I took magnesium to normalise my sleep after childbirth, and it helped immensely! I consume my daily dose at night, making it easier to fall asleep. It's vital as magnesium is excreted quickly, and my baby receives it through my milk. Perfect for nighttime!

Magnesium intake is essential for everyone, and I believe this supplement should be in every household. It has successfully replaced my husband’s hypertension medications. I take magnesium at night, which greatly enhances my sleep and boosts my stress resistance. I cannot manage without it now, opting for the chelated form, which I trust from NOW to be of excellent quality.
