Magnesium Supplementation Improves Sleep in Adults and Children

Several new studies show that magnesium supplementation helps improve sleep.

In the first study in adults over age 51 it was found that 320 mg of magnesium¹ could lower inflammation (C reactive protein) along with helping to improve sleep. In a second study of children ages 5-12 with attention deficit disorders it was found that a supplement containing only 80 mgs of magnesium² was able to improve focus and was especially helpful in correcting sleep problems in these children.

It is known that magnesium helps reduce inflammation in the brain, which in turn should help your brain sleep better. These two studies lend documentation to the frequently observed benefit of magnesium; assisting with sleep reducing the general feeling of inflammatory wear and tear.
