When you look at athletes because of caloric expenditure and because of sweat and because of how much tissue breakdown that's happening through many, like then the needs are even higher with them.
So I would say magnesium is a supplement.
comes in probably 90% of the people we work with.
It's really, really, really common for us to add magnesium as a supplement.
We try to add higher magnesium bioavailable foods more.
That is our starting place, but we're probably going to add supplements on top of that in addition because it's just hard to get there.
You got to be careful with this a little bit though because
If you were to look at your magnesium levels in like a classic blood draw, that's a terrible place to look.
The magnesium that comes on your blood work that you get is not an indicative of all of what's actually happening in your body.
The vast majority of it's going to be stored in bone anyways, and it's super transient.
Now there's good information you can get there, and there's other ways you can look at it, markers of it.
But I always like to flag that because people get really freaked out.
They go in for blood work for whatever reason, they see that, and they're like, oh, I'm super high, I don't need it.
Like that's not a good way to interpret your overall magnesium status.
We can talk more about that.
But in general, because of those things, we end up adding magnesium as one of our top line micronutrients to pay attention to.
So I'll go on for more, but I'll stop on magnesium if you want to talk more about that.
I know you're a fan.
Magnesium source is different.
Back when we were kids, you had to be really on top of this because of ineffective forms of magnesium and because of GI distress.
