Menopause, Sleep Disruption & Magnesium | Pure Essentials®

I wasn’t prepared for the influx of menopause symptoms all at once!

Menopause came in like a wrecking ball for me! According to the NIH, top reported symptoms are weight gain, muscle & joint pain, sleep problems. I was checking off all the symptoms down the list.

I was trying every product, bathing in any kind of CBD cream that had an herb or flower in it and drinking every sleep tea on the market and still coming up short on energy. I was tired and groggy in the mornings, dealing with brain fog and fatigue during the day. This wasn’t a long-term solution for me.

There are no bonus points for suffering.

A major game changer, for me, has been Pure Essentials' Ultra Magnesium and Ultra Omega. Taking two of each an hour before bed has me less stressed, experiencing restful and restorative sleep, relief from shoulder and hip pain, and more energy throughout the day!

Because truth + transparency = trust, You need to know that every body is different. There are many different solutions. I encourage you to talk to your health professional about current science and your bodies’ needs.

Don’t rely on 50-year-old science!

Clinician Formulated - Supported By Science

Magnesium glycinate is often recommended for women (perimenopausal, menopausal, PCOS, and PMS too!) experiencing sleep issues because it is highly absorbable and is known to have calming effects on the nervous system. It is especially helpful for reducing the feelings of stress and anxiety and promoting better sleep quality.

We included magnesium citrate to help with bloating and constipation, magnesium malate to help reduce fatigue and improve energy, and magnesium ascorbate to help reduce oxidative stress. Pure Essentials' 4-in-1 Ultra Magnesium formula may help alleviate digestive distress and muscle cramps or soreness that often contribute to sleep issues.

Does Magnesium Help With Sleep Issues?

Regulates Neurotransmitters

Magnesium helps regulate hormones related to the nervous system. It supports GABA, our brain's calming device, while reducing overstimulation...that annoying brain activity that keeps us awake!

Helps Production Of Melatonin

Yes, you can take melatonin alone. But it isn't meant to be a long-term solution. Magnesium promotes your body's natural production of that sleep inducing hormone and contributes to more than 300 other healthy body and brain functions.

Relaxes Muscles & Relieves Tension

Magnesium glycinate is proven to aid relaxation and calm the nerves. Taking magnesium an hour before bedtime, as part of your routine, can help prep your body and mind for a good night's sleep.

Helps Regulate Circadian Rhythms

Does it feel like your body clock is off the rails? Studies have shown magnesium contributes naturally to our circadian rhythms. And, magnesium is known to put those nasty cortisol stress hormones to bed.
