Magnesium is a very important mineral that does wonderful things for our health. We cannot function without this nutrient, as it’s involved with hundreds of biochemical reactions that really dictate your health.†
Magnesium is important for sleep because it is difficult to release melatonin at night without it. Because of this, it can also affect bone building, immune system function and more.†
This mineral is also needed for daytime energy. When you eat food and inhale oxygen, you try to make a compound called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This compound releases a phosphate group that is responsible for your energy. This energy is needed for seeing, thinking, breathing, walking and more. 90% of that energy is connected with magnesium.†

Magnesium is also involved with balancing the blood sugar. The pancreas cannot effectively release insulin if you lack magnesium, making this mineral very important for diabetics. Unfortunately, diabetics lose this nutrient in their urine.†
A report just came out of various academic institutions in Spain that looked at nutrient deficiencies that may jeopardize the health of female athletes. It was published in the Latin American Archives of Nutrition. They did a meta-analysis of a whole bunch of human clinical trials on female athletes spanning from 2012 to 2020. They found that there are specific problems that are common among elite female athletes. These issues have been dubbed the Female Athlete Triad Syndrome, which includes low energy levels, bone loss and missed periods.†
The study found that female athletes need higher levels of particular nutrients, including iron, Vitamin D, calcium, Vitamin B12 and magnesium. Of these nutrients, magnesium appears to be the most cause for concern, as this nutrient most often prevents deficits. It is especially important for athletes because it is needed for physical and mental energy, sleep, bone health and more.†

If you suffered with chickenpox as a kid, it can come back to haunt you later in life as shingles.†
According to research, approximately 99% of adults over the age of 40 have had chickenpox. This virus remains in your body in a dormant state, but it can be reactivated at any time and the risk of reactivating it increases with age, as your immune system naturally declines. Anybody who has had chickenpox is at risk for developing shingles. In the United States, one out of three people will eventually develop shingles. That’s an estimated yearly rate of one million people.†
Shingles presents as a painful rash with many blisters that typically occur on one side of the body. The blisters will typically scab over in seven to ten days and they typically clear up fully within two to four weeks. Its biggest complication is severe, long-lasting nerve pain known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). It can also cause scarring. If you develop these issues around your eyes, it may impact your eye health.†
There are natural things that can help with the pain and symptoms of shingles. My number one go-to supplement for people with nerve pain of any stripe is Alcar with ALA. There are many studies indicating that these nutrients can help people with nerve pain related to issues such as diabetes, back issues and more.†

B vitamins are also helpful for nerve pain. If you get the active forms of B12, folic acid and B6, these are great for nerve pain. These can be found in our Methyl-B formulation. There’s a fatty soluble form of Vitamin B1 called benfotiamine that can also be helpful.†
These supplements can help with nerve pain, but they are also beneficial for supporting brain health, energy levels and more.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. explains what shingles is, what causes it and how it presents itself. He also offers recommendations for nutrients that can help your body fend off nerve pain.†
