Answer: Yes, having adequate daily magnesium can help with muscle relaxation for both PMS symptoms and sleep issues. Research shows that magnesium supports nerve and muscle relaxation though more research is needed to determine the impact on women with varying magnesium levels. For sleep, "studies show that taking magnesium supplements may help reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep and decrease the likelihood of falling asleep during the day." Additionally, research suggests that "magnesium acts as a precursor for our natural melatonin production, relaxing the body and setting the stage for better sleep" rather than directly impacting sleep-wake cycles like synthetic melatonin. Perelel's Sleep Support uses a magnesium tri-blend that's pregnancy-safe, specifically chosen over melatonin to support your body's natural sleep processes without disrupting circadian rhythms.
