Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body and contributes to:
✓ Normal muscle function
✓ Normal functioning of the nervous system
✓ Normal psychological function
✓ Normal energy-yielding metabolism
✓ Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
✓ Maintenance of normal bones and teeth
Yet modern lifestyles may make it harder for some people to get enough through diet alone.
Why?
• Highly processed foods often contain fewer naturally occurring minerals
• Busy lifestyles can reduce intake of whole foods
• Many people don’t regularly consume magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds and legumes
Magnesium-rich foods include:
🥬 Spinach
🥑 Avocados
🌰 Almonds & cashews
🎃 Pumpkin seeds
🌾 Whole grains
🫘 Beans & lentils
🍫 Dark chocolate
When choosing a magnesium supplement, look beyond the headline number.
Important: “Magnesium citrate 1000mg” does NOT mean 1000mg of actual magnesium. What matters is the ELEMENTAL magnesium — the amount your body actually receives.
Some brands advertise the larger compound weight to make products appear stronger than they really are.
At Revitalise Your Health, we believe in transparency, evidence-led formulations and clear labelling.
Because informed choices matter.
