Your magnesium needs are unique. You may need a bit more or less than average based on factors including:

1. Your diet: The best sources of magnesium are unrefined plant foods, and most people don’t get enough. If your diet includes processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, sugars, and even animal proteins, you may need more magnesium.
2. Your lifestyle: Stress, exercise, sweat, and some medications can increase your need for magnesium every day. If you take a calcium supplement, you may need more magnesium.
3. Your size, gender & age: Every cell in your body needs magnesium, and bigger, taller people do need more magnesium. Men tend to need more, but women are more often deficient and need more during pregnancy.

To help with magnesium deficiency, start with a dose of Natural Calm at the lower end of the range for your age and stage and gradually increase.
