Magnesium Supplements for Energy, Sleep & Muscle Support

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions including energy production to nerve function. Many people don’t get enough through diet alone, which is why magnesium supplements have become a popular choice for supporting sleep, muscle health and overall wellbeing. At NaturesHealthbox, we offer a wide range of high-quality magnesium formulas to help you find the right fit for your daily routine.

Why Your Body Needs Magnesium

Magnesium is vital for converting food into energy, regulating neurotransmitters, and supporting normal muscle and heart function. Low magnesium levels are common due to stress, modern diets and poor sleep patterns. Supplementation can help restore balance, particularly for individuals experiencing fatigue, muscle tightness or difficulty winding down before bed.

Types of Magnesium Supplements

We stock a variety of forms designed for different goals:

• Magnesium Citrate – A well-absorbed form commonly used for energy support and muscle relaxation. Options include Viridian High Potency Magnesium Citrate.
  

• Magnesium Bisglycinate – Known for its gentle action on the stomach and strong bioavailability. A customer favourite is BetterYou Magnesium Glycinate Capsules.
  

• Magnesium Oil & Sprays – Ideal for topical use to support muscles directly after exercise, such as BetterYou Magnesium Oil Original Spray.
  

• Magnesium Bath Flakes – A relaxing option for soothing tired muscles, like Westlab Magnesium Flakes.
  

• Combination Formulas – For additional nutritional support, such as Terranova Magnesium Calcium Complex.
  

Benefits of Magnesium

Magnesium supplementation is linked to several evidence-supported benefits:

• Improved Sleep Quality – Magnesium helps regulate melatonin and GABA, both of which influence calmness and sleep.
  

• Muscle Relaxation – Ideal for athletes or those experiencing tight or restless muscles.
  

• Energy Production – Essential for ATP synthesis, which powers the body's cells.
  

• Mood Support – May help reduce feelings of stress and support emotional balance.

How to Choose the Right Magnesium

Choosing the right form depends on your specific needs:

• For sleep and relaxation, magnesium glycinate is typically preferred.
  

• For energy support and muscle recovery, magnesium citrate is a strong choice.
  

• For sensitive stomachs, opt for glycinate or a topical product.
