Insomnia: Studies Confirm Calcium and Magnesium Deficiencies Are To Blame



Insomnia - we all have it from time to time, but sometimes it visits every night and it just makes you want to scream - if you had the energy.


We all know that getting a good night sleep is essential to a productive and enjoying day, but what do you do when you can’t fall asleep or stay asleep and nothing seems to work?

According to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), six out of ten Americans report having insomnia and sleep problems at least a few nights a week and 25% of them use medications to help them sleep. 

Do you use sleeping pills to help you sleep?

Most sleeping pills, especially when taken over long periods of time, can have multiple side effects and are most often habit forming – meaning you must continue to take larger and larger doses just to get your sleep. These drugs linger in the bloodstream and often make you feel groggy the next day. They can increase the risk of car and work accidents as well as impair memory and performance on the job and at home. 

Minerals such as calcium and magnesium, especially when taken together has been shown in many studies to help promote falling asleep faster and help people stay asleep without all the side effects medications have.

Turns out deficiencies in both calcium and magnesium are easily fixed, costs less and has positive side benefits instead of negative side effects.

Could it be that simple?

Calcium is directly related to our sleep cycles. Researchers have found that calcium levels in the body are higher during some of the deepest levels of sleep, such as the rapid eye movement (REM) phase. They found that disturbances in sleep are related to a calcium deficiency. Better and deeper sleep was achieved following the normalization of the blood calcium level. 

With chronic insomnia or where sleep is interrupted with frequent nighttime awakenings, a magnesium deficiency was to be found. When the magnesium deficiency was corrected, deeper, less interrupted sleep was achieved.

A balanced ratio of calcium and magnesium is important to overall health, and these two minerals should be taken together for best results.

What is the easiest way to get what I need?

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...
