Perimenopause
& Sleep Disruption

...how magnesium may help.

Sleep struggles? You are not alone.

For me, the menopause cycle came on like a wrecking ball.

I felt so many different and sometimes weird symptoms, both physical and emotional. Sleep deprivation has been just the worst. And apparently I'm in good company.

NIH research estimates upwards of 47% of perimenopausal women suffer related sleep issues. Pre-M and post-M ladies...the number's pretty high for you too. So buckle up!

I'm blessed to work in the nutrition and wellness universe, where I get to speak with so many other women, to learn from them, and to share what I've learned.

Today, I'm introducing you to my Ultra Magnesium formula - a blend of four effective, bio-available and highly sought-after magnesium forms with a wide variety of potential benefits, including helping me get to sleep and stay asleep. Oh, and my hair and nails look spectacular!

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 Melotonin

Yes, you can take melatonin alone. But 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.

Supported By Science

Magnesium glycinate is often recommended for perimenopausal women experiencing sleep issues due to its high bioavailability and calming effects on the nervous system. Magnesium plays a key role in regulating neurotransmitters, such as GABA, which help promote relaxation and sleep. Studies suggest that magnesium glycinate may improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of insomnia, common during perimenopause due to fluctuating hormones.

Our inclusion of magnesium citrate and magnesium malate in Pure Essentials' 4-in-1 Ultra Magnesium formula may help alleviate digestive distress and muscle cramps or soreness that often contribute to sleep issues.
