This week's show brought to you by:
Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers.
Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…
- Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
- Reduce inflammation
- Significantly improve sleep quality
- Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.
When you're looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium.
Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it's made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.
