Does any of this sound familiar?
- You walk into the kitchen and forget why.
- You're wide awake at 2am.
- Your legs seem to have a life of their own at night.
- You feel bone-deep tired, even after a full night's sleep.
- You feel anxious or jittery, and you're not sure why.
These can have many causes, and some need checking with your GP. But one that's often overlooked is magnesium: many adults don't get enough from their diet, and midlife can make things harder.
Why midlife and magnesium matter
Many of us fall short.
Lots of adults don't get enough magnesium from food alone.
Hormones play a part.
Falling oestrogen may affect how well your body holds on to magnesium.
Testing is tricky.
A standard blood test only sees a tiny fraction of the magnesium in your body.
What's inside the guide

Can't my GP just test me?
They can, and it's worth asking. A standard blood test only sees a small fraction of your body's magnesium, so the book explains what that means.
Should I start a supplement?
Speak to your GP or pharmacist first, especially if you have kidney problems or take regular medication.
Is this medical advice?
