The overlooked mineral that helps ease hot flashes, lift brain fog, balance hormones, and bring you back to yourself.
There’s a reason magnesium is having a moment. Actually, there are many. From sudden weight gain and hot flashes to middle-of-the-night wakeups and low sex drive, the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause can leave you feeling like a stranger in your own skin. Magnesium is one of the most powerful (and natural) remedies for menopause, yet it’s still one of the most under-recognized.
Let’s explore how magnesium supports your hormones, sleep, and sensuality, plus why so many women are turning to magnesium for menopause relief.
What does magnesium do for the body?
Magnesium is essential for over 300 functions in the body. But what does magnesium do for females specifically? Quite a lot. Magnesium helps regulate estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, supports healthy nerve function, and plays a key role in sexual health, energy production, and emotional regulation.
It also supports the pituitary gland (your hormonal command center) which becomes even more important as hormone levels shift in perimenopause.
If you’re feeling the symptoms of perimenopause or menopause (including common perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and disrupted sleep) you might also be experiencing signs of low magnesium without realizing it.
Low magnesium symptoms and magnesium deficiency symptoms can include:
- Fatigue or sudden crashing energy drops
- Anxiety, tension, or irritability
- Difficulty falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night
- Muscle cramps or restless legs
- Brain fog and forgetfulness
- Hot flashes or mood swings
Why midlife women are often deficient in magnesium
So many of us don’t get enough magnesium. Our soil has been depleted. Stress, caffeine, and poor sleep deplete it even more. Add to that the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause, and there’s a good chance you could use a daily magnesium supplement in your life.
If you’re navigating perimenopause supplements or looking for the best supplements for menopause, we’ve got you covered.
Meet mellö: A natural remedy that supports the whole you during menopause
We created mellö to help you get back to feeling like yourself again. This daily supplement contains three forms of magnesium that can support your nervous system, hormones, and sleep during perimenopause and menopause. This highly bioavailable blend of magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate is paired with calming botanicals like L-theanine and GABA to support your nervous system, your hormones, and your sleep.
Taking a daily magnesium like mellö can help support bone health (especially important for anyone managing concerns like osteogenesis imperfecta), regulate insulin and cortisol (which can help manage menopause weight gain and sudden weight gain), and promote restful sleep.
Magnesium can also help ease hot flash symptoms by supporting thermoregulation and calming the nervous system. It also plays a role in female arousal after menopause by supporting blood flow, energy, and hormonal balance. Low sex drive in women is a common side effect of menopause, so if you’ve been dealing with this or navigating changes in menopause and sex drive, magnesium may be one missing piece of the puzzle
Make it a ritual, not a chore
Whether you’re dealing with unexplained hormonal weight gain, nights where you can’t sleep, or simply feeling disconnected; magnesium is one of the most gentle and effective natural remedies for menopause symptoms.
Combine it with movement, nutrient-rich food, and practices that help you feel grounded and sensual, and you’ll be supporting not just your hormones but your whole being.
For rest, regulation, and returning to yourself; mellö by Foria is here for it all.
