Magnesium is often called the “mineral for the nervous system,” and this is not a marketing ploy. It is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, regulates the activity of hundreds of enzymes, affects energy production in brain cells, supports normal neuron function, and helps protect them from excessive excitation.

However, not all medications tolerate contact with air, moisture, and light well. In addition, people often lose information about dosage, expiration dates, or the treatment schedule.

At this time, many start searching for “vitamins for energy,” “detox,” magnesium, or collagen. But supplements do not work in a vacuum.

At the end of spring, the body often naturally craves lighter foods: more greens, vegetables, berries, water, and fewer heavy hot meals.
