The #1 Supplement Every Man in Midlife Should Be Taking
If you asked most men in midlife what the most important supplement is, they’d probably say fish oil, a multivitamin, protein powder, or maybe creatine.
All reasonable answers. All wrong for the top spot.
Because none of those matter much if your body can’t relax, recover, produce energy, or adapt to stress, and that’s exactly what magnesium controls.
