Let's dive into why & how a deficiency in melatonin production can lead to leptin resistance = obesity, nuked metabolism & chronic hunger.
What people think magnesium is for:
-Sleep
-Stress
-Muscle soreness
What it's really for:
- Cofactor in >1000 enzymatic reactions

- DNA replication
- DNA transcription
- RNA synthesis
- RNA transcription
- Cytoplasmic hypertrophy
- Mitochondrial biogenesis
- Ribosome biogenesis
- Cell proliferation
- Cellular hydration / kidney function
- Apoptosis
- Glycolisis
- Protein synthesis
- Ion transport / neurotransmitter signaling / muscle contraction
- Structural component of chromosomes, cell membranes, bones, etc.

Don't fall for the RDA
There are 50+ hidden sugars put in food products
