Endometriosis and magnesium! Does magnesium help endometriosis? I’m obsessed and I do genuinely believe that magnesium plays a massive role in managing endometriosis especially when it comes to cramping and going to the toilet. Magnesium is a mineral used by the body to help muscles relax or contract, normally address stress, and send messages through the nervous system. Magnesium is important for endo-sufferers to understand because deficiency alone can prompt the body to increase in inflammation. I take @DR.VEGAN Magnesium from ovulation to end of period. Unlike standard supplements, it is free of any animal ingredients and nasty additives. I’ve been taking this for quite a long time and I’d be lost without it. I know when I haven’t taken it because I can’t switch off in the evenings and also my period cramping is so much worse. Magnesium citrate works by increasing the amount of water your intestine absorbs. This softens the stool, making it easier to have a bowel movement. Dr Vegan recommends 2 a day so if you’re struggling with constipation, maybe something like this would really help you. And then you’ve got an oil type - this is pure magnesium oil spray. I think it’s on offer at the moment and I’ll link it to the video. Muscle/foot/leg cramps at rest are associated with magnesium deficiency so maybe this oil spray is a good place for you to start. Magnesium may help with endometriosis because it relaxes muscles, but it’s not a cure for endometriosis. By the way, I’m not a doctor or a Gynae, and not making any medical claims in this video. #justanothergirlwithendo #endometriosis #bowelendo #magnesium #magnesiumdeficiency
