See How Magnesium Rescues The Hormone

Magnesium has so many jobs and a big chunk of them have to do with our hormones!⁠⠀

⁠⠀
This multi-tasking mineral is needed in the body to complete hundreds of enzyme responses and many of these responses impact your natural hormone balance.
⁠⠀
Here is why magnesium is good for hormones:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Supports Thyroid⁠⠀
Magnesium is essential for the production of thyroid hormone as well as it helps to convert the less active T4 thyroid hormone to the more active T3.  It's also anti-inflammatory which helps to quiet the autoimmune inflammation that underlies most thyroid disease.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Supports Healthy Hormone Response⁠⠀
Magnesium helps in the manufacturing of steroid hormones which include progesterone, estrogen and testosterone.  It also helps to normalize the action of progesterone on the central nervous system deeming it helpful in PMS, migraines and menopause.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Regulates Cortisol ⁠⠀
Magnesium helps to calm your nervous system and reduces your production of cortisol. When your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functions well, your other hormones will function well too! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Reduces Blood Sugar and Normalizes Insulin⁠⠀
Magnesium is often referred to as "natural metformin" because it's so effective at improving insulin sensitivity.  When we have healthy insulin sensitivity, we have fewer sugar cravings & is helpful for weight loss and PCOS.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Helps with Sleep⁠⠀
Magnesium is amazing for promoting sleep and "sleep" is crucial for hormone production.  During sleep is when we get a beneficial surge of anabolic hormones such as DHEA and growth hormone.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Anti-aging ⁠⠀
Magnesium prevents telomeres from shortening, reduces oxidative stress (which play havoc on your hormones) and enhances the production of glutathione (antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress and so much more).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Drives Cellular Energy ⁠⠀
Without magnesium there is no cellular energy. Hormonal tissue has a very high metabolic rate & requires even more cellular energy & more magnesium than any other tissue.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It's so important that we are NOT deficient in magnesium, especially when it comes to hormonal health! ⁠⠀
