You might have unknowingly created a nutrient deficiency that could not only mess with your health but also jeopardize those weight loss goals. Did you know that over 75% of Americans are already deficient in magnesium? Yeah, it's wild! Magnesium is this powerhouse mineral that's involved in over 600 biological reactions in your body.

And if you’re still on those meds, you might be dealing with some side effects like sleepless nights, digestive issues, or irritability, which can totally throw off your commitment to your goals. Whether you’re taking meds or not, setting up healthy habits is crucial to maintaining your weight over time. One of the best things you can do? Make sure you're getting all the magnesium your body needs. Don’t let a magnesium deficiency derail your progress! Give Magnesium Breakthrough by BIOptimizers a shot.
