Magnesium is an essential mineral responsible for over 300 important bodily functions, and chances are you are not getting enough of it - 57% of the population is not meeting the US RDA for magnesium. Magnesium plays a big role in energy production, mitochondrial health, nerve and muscular function, heart rate, immunity, and more. Magnesium deficiency can lead to muscle cramps and weakness, impaired sleep, weak bones, mood disorders, altered blood pressure, and irregular heart rate.

Sodium plays a big role in water retention, making it one of the key players in hydration. Unlike you may have been told, sodium is not harmful. Healthy people don’t have to worry about over-consuming sodium, especially since under-consuming sodium is a much more common problem. Not consuming enough sodium can lead to nausea, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, muscle weakness, altered mood, impaired exercise performance, and muscle cramps.

Chloride works with sodium to regulate fluid retention and contributes to healthy digestion and the absorption of nutrients. 

Potassium is important for maintaining healthy blood pressure, regulating heart rate, balancing fluids, and regulating nerve and muscle function. Potassium deficiency can lead to increased blood pressure, constipation, fatigue, impaired muscle function, muscle cramps, headaches, nausea, and more. The addition of potassium is especially important on keto because there aren’t a lot of keto-friendly foods rich in potassium.

Vitamin D helps your brain absorb magnesium and supports a healthy immune system. Most people are deficient in vitamin D, so this addition supports your overall health as well.
