We have some happy news, dreamy friends. A brand new magnesium line is coming your way! You can now include this essential mineral into your daily routine, no matter what your schedule looks like. Whether you’re always on the go, need some help winding down at the end of a long day, or want to give your brain that little extra push, Soothe, Serenity and Magnesium L-Threonate have got your back! Are you ready to join the Dream Team? Magnesium 101 Magnesium is a busy mineral. It is involved in hundreds of roles in the body, including energy production, maintaining electrolyte balance, helping absorb other nutrients and relaxing muscles. Sounds pretty important, right? Here’s the catch: our body can’t make magnesium on its own. We need to intake it from our diet or supplements. Sadly, magnesium is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies - over 35% of Canadians aren’t getting the estimated average requirement of magnesium from their diet. Serenity ☁️ Ever lay in bed late at night feeling tense and jittery? Serenity is about to become your favourite bedtime buddy. Serenity combines magnesium bisglycinate and vitamin D3, another nutrient most of us Canadians are sorely lacking. These two nutrients work together like a dream, helping stop the negative outcomes of stress in its tracks! Magnesium bisglycinate is a form of magnesium that is easily absorbed by the body thanks to its chemical structure. This makes its benefits more readily available, with a smaller chance of coming across digestive side effects. Serenity’s subtle Lavender & Mint flavour and convenient powder form make for an amazing elixir you can add to your nightly routine, or whenever you just want to kick back and relax. It is also available in an unflavoured version, a great addition to a bedtime herbal tea. Soothe 🍉 Soothe is a bubbly, fun way to get in your daily dose of magnesium, with a fruity Watermelon & Lime flavour! This effervescent powder gives you a good reason to hit pause on your busy day and take a moment to breathe. Add it to hot water and watch science in motion! As it fizzes, the ingredients work together to create magnesium citrate, an ionic form of magnesium that your body can instantly recognize and put to use. On top of magnesium’s benefits to energy, metabolism and muscles we touched on earlier, Soothe shines as a digestive health helper. Inside the digestive tract, magnesium citrate draws water in, helping relieve constipation. You’re welcome! Magnesium L-Threonate ⚗️ The cutting edge in magnesium supplements, Magnesium L-Threonate offers all the benefits of magnesium, with a plus. It is one of the best-absorbed forms of magnesium known to date, delivering the healthy goodness of magnesium at an optimal level. Look out for our new magnesium line: Serenity, Soothe and Magnesium L-Threonate, coming soon to a store near you! Want to learn more about magnesium and how it can fit into your routine?

As a holistic nutritionist and fitness coach, one of the most common questions I get from my clients is "Which supplements should I be taking?". Depending on your diet, health concerns, and symptoms, that answer always varies except for one, magnesium. Looking to get a night of restful sleep? Magnesium. Need help with post-workout recovery? Magnesium. Ate a big meal and looking for digestive support? Yup, you guessed it, magnesium. I discovered magnesium when searching for something to ease sore muscles and support deep uninterrupted sleep. As someone who works out daily and often goes to bed with a busy mind, my muscles and mind were becoming tired on all fronts! If I could find a supplement that did that and some...I’d be one happy (and rested), woman! I had been familiar with what magnesium offered and a few of the benefits it offered, but the more research I did, the more amazed I became with this mineral. Magnesium is a mineral but different from others, it's the 4th most needed and used mineral in our bodies. In fact, did you know every cell in our body contains magnesium and needs it to function? It is an essential mineral needed to perform hundreds of reactions that occur in our beautiful vessel. It is especially important when it comes to muscle function and recovery. Here’s why: Helps regulate muscle contractions, especially the heart! Helps with post-workout recovery by preventing a buildup of lactic acid, known to cause pain, tightness and muscle cramping after exercising Essential for the production of serotonin Helps to balance and control stress hormones. This is important for those who not only live a high stress lifestyle, but who work out a lot, causing additional stress on the body Is one of the essential electrolytes needed for efficient hydration Plays a huge role in our sleep, which is crucial for muscle repair, improving mood and keeping our energy high and stable! Taking it for a test run As divine timing would have it, my friends over at Organika were just about to release their newest Magnesium Citrate product, Soothe. I opted to try the watermelon & lime flavour first. A little bubbly, which took me by surprise at first, but having eaten dinner shortly before, was actually quite nice. I also learned after my second try with the unflavoured Soothe, if you let it sit for a minute, the effervescence settles down quite a bit. This made a lovely addition to my chamomile tea. The next morning I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to my alarm A) not groggy, which happens with many sleep aids, and B) not nearly as sore as expected after having had an intense ‘leg day’ the day prior. After several weeks of supplementing with Soothe I began to notice benefits in other areas. As someone who runs on all cylinders, I found myself in the ‘chill’ zone more often and content to be there. My post-workout recovery went very smoothly, with muscles not nearly as sore after big workouts and my mood and energy became much more consistent thanks to a good night’s sleep! Another benefit I wasn’t expecting was using the Watermelon Lime Soothe to curb my post dinner sweet tooth. Because it’s slightly carbonated and naturally sweetened, it stopped my craving dead in its tracks. The following week, I took the product with me on a work trip. I appreciated how well I was able to sleep, which can often be a bit rocky when out of routine. The bottom line I’m very excited about this new product from Organika and cannot recommend it enough. With an improvement in my sleep, muscle recovery and a noticeable difference in my stress levels and nervous system, safe to say, it has become a part of my nightly routine. Pairing Soothe with foods high in magnesium such as leafy greens, bananas, oats, and nuts and seeds are just a few delicious ways we can support our incredible bodies that give so much to us.
