With more than a billion hashtags on TikTok the 'miracle mineral' magnesium has become the latest supplement to offer impressive benefits.
So with that in mind, and as someone who constantly feels like they aren't getting enough sleep, I decided to give it a go albeit with a healthy amount of scepticism. I bought a three-month supply of 500mg magnesium tablets on Amazon for £7.17. In the current Holland and Barrett sale you can get 90 magnesium and zinc tablets for £3.80.
I would wake up in the mornings, at around 7.30am, and where normally I would snooze my alarm at least three or four times before dragging myself out of bed I found that, once I was up, I no longer felt that I could easily fall back asleep if I crawled back under the covers.
