#110 Why is Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin C Important for Midlife?

On This Episode

Leslie Danford, the founder of Vitaminis, shares the importance of magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C for women before and after menopause. As women age, their magnesium levels tend to decline, leading to issues like muscle weakness, fatigue, and poor immunity. Magnesium is vital for energy production, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Zinc helps the immune system, protein synthesis, and wound healing. It also plays a significant role in hormone regulation during transitional hormone periods. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules.

Leslie also stresses the importance of magnesium for bone health as we age. This powerful mineral acts as a natural muscle relaxant, relieving cramps and aiding in post-exercise recovery. It also works with calcium and vitamin D to keep our bones strong and healthy, preventing osteoporosis and ensuring effective nutrient processing. However, Leslie advises consulting with a doctor before adding vitamins and minerals to your routine, as some may interact with medications.
