Magnesium supports glucose metabolism and enhances insulin sensitivity. Low levels are linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
Recommended form: Magnesium chloride or taurate
Dosage: 250–350 mg/day (after meals to regulate glucose)
Best food sources: Whole grains (quinoa, brown rice), black beans, lentils, dark chocolate
Note: If you’re on blood sugar medication, talk to your doctor before supplementing.

Magnesium influences neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which help regulate mood. Low magnesium is associated with irritability, anxiety, and depression.
Recommended form: Magnesium threonate (crosses the blood-brain barrier)
Dosage: 200–400 mg/day (preferably at night)
Lifestyle tip: Pair with meditation or deep breathing for greater impact
