The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions. According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75% of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recommended daily intake of 420 milligrams of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue and poor sleep. Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate is a lightly sweetened, great-tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice or with another powdered supplement.
