Natural medicines, including magnesium, Boswellia, turmeric, lemon balm, glycine, and copper, have been utilised for ages to enhance sleep, manage aches and pains, and reduce anxiety and feelings of nervousness. MSP, or Magnesium, Sleep and Pain, is a specialised formula for our modern age where stress, anxiety, tension, and poor sleep are a way of life. Time for a change!
I formulated MSP due to the overwhelming number of comments from our community around unmanaged pain, poor sleep, anxiety, and stress. There was not a suitable option available to manage these common symptoms apart from combining several supplements. In fact, the formula was also specifically developed for our co-founder Lisa Curry, who was not sleeping and constantly suffering from aches and pains, which was significantly affecting her quality of life.
Let’s have a look at the ingredients and why I chose them specifically.
In the body, nearly 300 enzymatic activities depend on the mineral magnesium. It is essential for keeping muscles and nerves in good condition and can lessen cramps and spasms. Magnesium has also been demonstrated to increase feelings of relaxation, lower stress levels, and improve the quality of sleep. Studies have shown that different conditions and specific deficiencies can benefit from taking magnesium in the forms of glycinate, aspartate, citrate, and ascorbate. (1,2,3,4,5)
The secret in having an effective magnesium supplement is two-fold. First is the form of magnesium. Each form of magnesium has different benefits for the body. Taking a single form of magnesium often leads to failure. Combining several forms of magnesium reduces the burden of a single form being absorbed, and rather different magnesium carriers allow for optimised absorption. Second is the inclusion of copper. Even when magnesium is absorbed it has an extremely high burn-through rate. i.e. the body uses so much magnesium that it quickly becomes deficient again. Copper maximises the utilisation of magnesium in the body and assists the body in building magnesium reservoirs rather than simply being excreted by the body. The combination of 4 different types of magnesium and copper makes MSP so special and unlike any product available.
Let’s look at the 4 types of magnesium in MSP because each was chosen for a deliberate reason.
One of the secrets of MSP. A vital mineral that has a significant function in the body is copper. Numerous physiological processes, including the synthesis of myelin, the covering that protects nerve fibers, iron metabolism, and blood formation, all benefit from copper. Additionally, copper helps the body absorb and utilise magnesium. Lower magnesium levels in the body can result from a copper deficit and contribute to muscle discomfort, spasms, and cramps.
Since ancient times, the herb known as boswellia, commonly referred to as Indian frankincense, has been utilised in Ayurvedic medicine to treat a number of ailments, including joint discomfort and inflammation. Boswellic acids, which are found in boswellia, aid in lowering inflammation and enhancing joint health. Boswellia really is a powerful anti-inflammatory and keeps inflammation in the body in check which has many positive implications for managing and preventing chronic disease.
Turmeric is a well proven herbal medicine that has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries, and is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, has been shown to reduce pain and improve mobility in people with osteoarthritis and other conditions.
The herbal medicine lemon balm has been used for centuries to promote restful sleep, lessen stress, and treat the signs of anxiety and depression. Lemon balm has ingredients that encourage feelings of relaxation and may enhance the quality of sleep. Lemon balm was specifically chosen for its gentle effects and ability to be non-drowsy, unlike other common sleep aids like melatonin and valerian.
Glycine is an amino acid that is important for the production of proteins in the body. It is known to help improve sleep quality, relax muscles, and reduce pain and inflammation. It’s also been observed to play a role in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. A study conducted on healthy human volunteers showed that ingestion of glycine before bedtime improved subjective sleep quality, increased non-REM sleep, and reduced wake after sleep onset.
In conclusion, natural therapies such as magnesium, copper, boswellia, turmeric, lemon balm, and glycine can help with pain alleviation and sleep quality. These treatments should be taken in the proper quantities and with the help of our practitioner team who can best advise you on what products in our range suit your personal needs. MSP could be the missing link in your health. Coming Friday!!!
