You're standing in front of the shelf of women's vitamins, and every bottle makes a different promise. But do you really need all these nutrients? Usually not. What matters is what your body actually needs in your current stage of life.

Do you feel tired, tense, or somehow "out of balance", but your blood test still says everything is normal?
That's precisely the problem, because a normal blood test often doesn't reliably indicate a magnesium deficiency. This is because only about 1% of the magnesium in your body is actually in your blood; most of it is stored in your cells, muscles, and bones.
