For a refreshing, sleep-inducing drink, start by filling a glass with ice.
Pour in 1/2 cup of tart cherry juice, then mix in the magnesium powder.
Stir well until fully dissolved, then finish by adding a lemon-lime beverage of your choice.
Tart cherry juiceis a natural source of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep.
Magnesium also plays an important role in sleep health.
This essential mineral helps regulate neurotransmitters involved in relaxation and sleep.
It also supports healthy levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes calmness.
Ensuring adequate magnesium intake may contribute to improved sleep quality and overall relaxation (Sleep Foundation).
