Subject: If you're not taking THIS "super" mineral...
...you could be compromising your sleep, your fitness results...even your health.
That mineral is magnesium.
Honestly, it's one of the very few must-have supplements that I NEVER go without and recommend YOU never go without either.
Ever.
It's a critical mineral in literally HUNDREDS of chemical reactions in your body. If you don't have enough of it, your body will pull it from your bones to try and keep up blood levels (which is not an ideal situation).
Our food supply today is dreadfully lacking in magnesium. The standard diet most people eat doesn't contain nearly enough of the foods required for optimal magnesium intake.
When you don't get enough magnesium in your diet (and most people don't), you can experience a whole host of problems..
"Magnesium deficiency can produce symptoms of anxiety or depression, including muscle weakness, fatigue, eye twitches, insomnia, anorexia, apathy, apprehension, poor memory, confusion, anger, nervousness, and rapid pulse." - Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D.
Heck, even a very healthy, balanced diet doesn't supply enough magnesium for OPTIMAL levels in your body.
That's why, in my opinion, a good magnesium supplement is THE single most important supplement you should be taking.
For real.
It's that important. I can't stress this enough.
In my experience, there is not any other single vitamin or mineral supplement that has the potential to completely change the quality of your life like magnesium does.
And I know that's a big statement...but I've seen it happen.
Now, I'm not a nutritioninst, but I've had a number of people that I've suggested magnesium supplementation to over the years...
- ...start sleeping better...
- ...become 5-10% stronger IMMEDIATELY (magnesium is critical for the nervous system)
- ...stop getting painful muscle cramps...
- ...and feel less stressed in their day-to-day lives.
The list of benefits just goes on and on. Magnesium needs to be in your daily nutritional regimen.
What Type of Magnesium is the Best to Take?
All of them.
Ok, maybe not ALL of them...there are some forms of magnesium that aren't as absorbable.
I started with magnesium oxide years ago and it was ok (but watch out if you take too much!). Then I took magnesium citrate for quite a few years and found it to be good. Then I switched to magnesium glycinate in the past few years and found it to be much better.
If I miss a day or two taking magnesium, I notice the difference...I feel more restless, I don't sleep as well, and my strength suffers.
What I've discovered very recently, however, is that if you want to see the GREATEST benefits of magnesium, you need to take a wider spectrum of magnesium types, in the proper ratios.
A few weeks ago, I was approached by my friends at BiOptimizers (the creators of Mass-Zymes and P3-OM, the digestive enzymes and probiotics that I take and recommend strongly) to test their new magnesium supplement.
This new supplement contains 7 different kinds of magnesium.
And I have to say, I was initially very skeptical about this.
Why Do We Need SEVEN Different Kinds of Magnesium?
That seemed like overkill to me. Wouldn't your body just break each one down into elemental magnesium and just use it where it's needed (kind of like how proteins are broken down into amino acids)?
Turns out the answer is no. Each form has very specific effects and benefits in your body.
When I started digging into the rationale and science a bit more, I became more and more impressed with the formulation.
Here's the back label of the bottle...
The seven different types of magnesium it contains are Magnesium Chelate, Citrate, Biglycinate, Malate, L-Threonate, Taurate, and Orotate.
Each version of magnesium included in this formula targets a different benefit.
My Experience With "Magnesium Breakthrough"
Since I had been taking plenty of magnesium for years, I figured I wouldn't really notice much difference.
I was wrong.
It didn't happen straightaway, but after a few weeks, I noticed I was sleeping better and more restfully. I felt stronger in the gym.
And the ONLY thing I was doing differently was taking Magnesium Breakthrough (I completely stopped taking any other forms of magnesium).
Now, I fully realize this is completely subjective...and is a sample size of one...but for me, my experience was enough to convince me that there really is something to this multi-magnesium concept.
The product itself is more expensive than a simple single-form magnesium supplement, especially more than some of the cheaper forms like magnesium oxide, but I think it's definitely worth it.
The Bottom Line - Magnesium is a Difference Maker
You're going to see some benefits from taking ANY form of magnesium, especially if you're not taking any at all right now.
So if you take just one thing away from this email, take away the fact that you should be supplementing with SOME form of magnesium. For real. It will help a LOT.
However, if you REALLY want to get the most bang for your buck and see the greatest results from magnesium supplementation, I would absolutely recommend you give this stuff a try.
And since Magnesium Breakthrough is just now being released to the public, as an incentive, you can get yours for 10% off for this week only.
This stuff is well worth trying.

One last thing...not getting enough magnesium goes WAY beyond decreased performance in the gym. Magnesium deficiency can have large, long-term negative impacts on your health, longevity and quality of life.
Unfortunately, I've seen THAT happen as well (it put one of my family members in the hospital).
That's why magnesium is such a high-priority recommendation from me. This is critical stuff and not getting enough can have serious consequences to your health.
