🚨🚨Is your supplement ACTUALLY effective? 🤔
Your body uses magnesium to metabolize vitamin D, then convert it to its active form and transport it.
The problem with this is almost a billion people are deficient in vitamin D and 75% of people are deficient in magnesium…
That can create a never-ending effect of vitamin deficiencies…
Vitamin D is crucial to mental health, immunity, hormonal health, mood, body composition, bone health, gut health, etc. Magnesium is crucial for muscle and nerve function, hydration, energy production and immune health.
Ensuring you have enough of any vitamin can be difficult as there’s so many factors such as…
Absorption…
When to take…
Why to take…
Brands, doses and quality.
Learn what foods contain these vitamins and learn what each vitamin is important for.
Avoid or maintain high moderation in things such as 👇🏽
🍔 Fast food
🥼 Highly processed foods and snacks (stick to less than 5 ingredients)
🍭 Sugary juices, soda and foods containing added sugar
🍪 Excessive or overly processed sweets
🥩 Low quality meats
Stick to nutrient dense, whole food as adequate vitamin and mineral levels make you feel, perform and live better.
☀️ Daily sunshine is also very important. People who don’t get enough and those with more melanin are most at risk for a deficiency ☀️
Look for an oil based vitamin D3 (over the vegan D2). Take it with a fatty meal and consider taking with K2 as it also has synergy with it.
This post was inspired by who creates awesome content. She included more information about the magnesium and vitamin D connection. Check it out below 👇🏼
👉 All enzymes that metabolize vitamin D require magnesium.
👉Magnesium influences the body's ability to use vitamin D.
👉 Vitamin D is transported in blood bound to carrier proteins which are dependent on magnesium.
👉 Low magnesium leads to a decrease in the conversion of vitamin D to its active form (the vitamin D we consume is not in its active form).
