Ever wondered why you're still feeling tired and wired despite eating well? The answer might be hiding in your medicine cabinet. Let's talk about how common medications can affect your magnesium levels – something that's crucial for every busy mum to understand.

Think of your body like a bank account. Certain medications can act like sneaky automatic withdrawals, slowly depleting your magnesium reserves without you realizing it. And just like an overdrawn account, running low on magnesium can leave you feeling exhausted and stressed.

• Birth control pills 
• Antacids (like Nexium) 
• Blood pressure medications 
• Antidepressants

• Antibiotics 
• Ventolin inhalers 
• Diuretics (water tablets) 
• Corticosteroids

Why This Matters for You

If you're: 

• Taking any of these medications long-term 
• Using multiple medications 
• Feeling more tired than usual 
• Experiencing muscle cramps or tension 
• Having trouble sleeping

Your magnesium levels might need some extra attention!

Different medications impact magnesium in various ways:

Some medications (like diuretics) make your body excrete more magnesium than usual – imagine leaving the tap running when you're trying to fill a sink.

Others (like certain antidepressants) can make it harder for your cells to use magnesium – like having the right key but a sticky lock.

Acid-reducing medications can make it harder for your body to absorb magnesium – similar to trying to drink through a partially blocked straw.

The good news? There are simple ways to support your magnesium levels:

1. Topical Magnesium
   • Easy absorption through skin
   • Bypasses digestive issues
   • Perfect for busy mums
   • Can be used alongside medications
   
   
2. Magnesium-Rich Foods
   • Green leafy vegetables
   • Nuts and seeds
   • Dark chocolate (yes, really!)
   • Bananas
   
   
3. Lifestyle Tweaks
   • Regular epsom salt baths
   • Stress management
   • Quality sleep (when possible!)

If you're on long-term medication, it doesn't mean you're destined to feel depleted. Small, consistent actions to support your magnesium levels can make a big difference in how you feel.
