Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for your health—and one of the hardest to get enough of from diet alone. It’s estimated that 75% of adults in the U.S. fail to reach the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). This isn’t just unfortunate, it’s a true health concern.
In this episode of the NatureCity Podcast, CEO and co-founder Carl Pradelli breaks down why magnesium diet shortfalls are such a widespread issue, why magnesium is so important, and signals from your body that your magnesium intake may be too low.
You’ll also hear where some common forms of magnesium in supplements come up short and why Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate is the gold standard. Carl also shares his personal experience (and his wife Beth’s story) about how this form of magnesium made a real difference in their lives.
👉 Whether you struggle with muscle cramps, sleep troubles, mood swings, or simply want to feel and function your best, this episode will help you understand how to get the magnesium your body truly needs.
