Increasing your magnesium intake during perimenopause and menopause is something I recommend to nearly every menopausal woman.

I do take 200mg a day and have found that it does help with sleep, relaxation, leg cramps and fatigue. I certainly cannot be without it at this time of my life (post menopausal). Thanks for sharing such valuable information, it is helping so many women. :) :)

That's great to hear Jacqueline! It is so vital post menopause too! Glad to hear it helps :)

I love magnesium. It's my miracle supplement. I have cystitis since I was a child. When I hit Peri years my cystitis flared up due to the lack of estrogen not protecting my bladder. Magnesium has helped so much for cystitis symptoms. I did not know that we needed the magnesium for calcium absorption. This would have helped my Mother during her post meno years.

@AvogelCoUk Год назад

Wow so great that you have found it helps so much! Yes it's so helpful post menopause too. So many people are deficient and it helps so many things!!

@joycebezanson4543 Год назад

@pattycake8272 Год назад

Yes it does help me slow down, I bring my D3s and magnesium with me to work in a pill bottle, that way i always have them with me and can take it when I get to work. But I did hear taking it around bed times helps for sleep. I learned that here in fact, you have been sooooo helpful on my journey. Thank you.

@AvogelCoUk Год назад

Oh thank you I am so glad to hear that! Yes helpful to take them at work and night time does also help! Whatever you need in any given day. If your dose can be divided morning and night you could try doing both!

@curlywurly661 Год назад

Gosh your videos are always perfectly timed, I have just started taking magnesium, started about three weeks ago and I do feel better, I still wake up a couple of times in the night due to heat, but I get back to sleep quickly, it has taken me around three weeks to see the benefits. Thank you so much for the videos I look forward to Mondays now xx

@janetfreidel2476 Год назад

Another great video. ❤ Thank you. I really like peanut butter and I read that it has magnesium in it. I read they are a good source of magnesium. I also like almonds. I eat the dark chocolate kind which also has magnesium as well. I am still staying away from the refined sugar.

@AvogelCoUk Год назад

Yep dark chocolate does have magnesium indeed! It can still be helpful to take a supplement as many of the food sources are lower than we think because even our soil is depleted of magnesium these days. So try a supplement too if you need some more support

Eat foods that have Magnesium like LENTILS: the other MEAT, Better than meat matter of fact. Lentils will help you to poop which then removes toxins and the bad estrogens from our colon and voila no brain fog. I also use Real Cacao powder: 71mg of magnesium per serving. I use 2 tbls of cacao and 8 oz of Soy Milk from Silk and have healthy hot chocolate for am and noon. It's so delicious and cheap lots of magnesium there ☺ you for your tips.

Oh you're so welcome thank you for the lovely comment! Try taking the magnesium daily as it may help you get more regular sleep. Have you tried out Dormeasan tincture?

@AvogelCoUk Год назад

Hi Vilma, you can get magnesium in our Menopause Support tablets - www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/soy-isoflavones/ and you take them whenever suits, but I do find taking magnesium at night can help with relaxation and sleep. You can take up to 500mg a day. If you are looking for a magnesium supplement on its own I recommend Floradix liquid magnesium, or Priz Mag magnesium glycinate.

@chrisjennlange7570 Год назад

I heard high level of Vitamin D3 deplete magnesium. Is that true?

@AvogelCoUk Год назад

Well you need magnesium to activate vitamin D, hence if you have loads of vitamin D on board, your need for magnesium will ramp up. So if you are taking vitamin D it's a good idea to take magnesium too. And it's one of the reasons why it's good to get your vitamin D levels check with a blood test before supplementing with it. Hope this helps! :)
