What does each ingredient do?
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the human body — it plays a role in key processes for the cardiovascular, digestive, and endocrine systems, as well as muscle relaxation. Poor nutrition, gastrointestinal disorders, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes can all contribute to magnesium deficiency. (Source: PubMed).
"As a cardiologist, I frequently see the effects of magnesium deficiency in my patients — from muscle cramps to heart rhythm irregularities. It's a mineral that shouldn't be underestimated." — Dr. Juan Rivera.
Potassium is another essential nutrient — about 90% of what you consume is eliminated through urine. Research suggests potassium may help reduce hypertension, one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease in the United States. (Source: PubMed).
Ashwagandha supports moderate stress management and, according to studies, also contributes to healthy cognitive function and memory. (Source: PubMed).
Lavender, along with other botanicals studied in the context of women's health, diabetes, and weight management, has shown benefits in preventive health when consumed regularly.
Finally, mulberry fruit provides antioxidants with potential benefits for cholesterol management and body weight — a natural complement to this recipe.
When it comes to healthily losing weight, following the guidance of a professional nutritionist is always the best strategy. This gelatin is a delicious way to support your new lifestyle without sacrificing flavor.
