This Mineral Can Reverse Insulin & Leptin Resistance

Introduction

Having trouble keeping your blood sugar balanced? Many people immediately think of insulin resistance, but leptin resistance often plays an even bigger role behind the scenes. That’s why we’re spotlighting one powerful mineral that influences both: magnesium.

Why Magnesium Matters

Magnesium deficiency is incredibly common, yet its importance is often overlooked. This essential mineral helps regulate blood glucose, supports normal insulin response, and keeps leptin signaling functioning properly.

Since leptin resistance can appear before insulin resistance, it can interfere with appetite control and slow down your body’s natural ability to burn fat. Replenishing magnesium levels may help bring these metabolic processes back into balance.

What Magnesium Does Inside the Body

Today’s farming practices have depleted magnesium in the soil, leaving many foods with much lower levels than they once had. Because magnesium is needed to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, low intake can weaken your body’s ability to turn food into energy.

On top of that, we live in constant exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from phones, Wi-Fi, and other electronics. EMFs activate voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), allowing excess calcium to enter the cells. Magnesium serves as a natural calcium-channel blocker, helping protect cells and maintain equilibrium in a high-EMF environment.

Choosing the Best Magnesium Supplement

Not all forms of magnesium work the same. At VitaTree, we recommend magnesium bisglycinate — the form we use in our wholefood magnesium formula — because it offers:

• Excellent absorption

• A gentle effect on the digestive system

• No risk of diarrhea, even with higher doses

• Support for healthy leptin and insulin sensitivity

• Improved blood sugar balance

Magnesium bisglycinate is one of the most effective forms available, making it ideal for overall metabolic support.

When to Take Magnesium for Optimal Results

Timing can influence how well your body absorbs and uses magnesium. For best results, we suggest taking your magnesium supplement in the morning. To learn more, you can watch our video “When Is the Best Time to Take Magnesium?” from VitaTree co-founder and formulator Dr. Janine Bowring.
