4. Encourages Stress Relief and Better Sleep
Sleep disturbances and stress are common among people with obesity. Magnesium sulfate may help relax muscles and calm the nervous system, promoting deeper, more restorative sleep. Improved sleep can support appetite regulation, hormone balance, and overall metabolic health.
