Heart palpitations—those sudden flutters, skipped beats, or racing sensations—can be alarming, even when harmless. For many, the root cause isn’t structural heart disease but a mineral imbalance, particularly low magnesium. Up to 48% of Americans don’t get enough magnesium from diet alone, and this deficiency is strongly linked to irregular heart rhythms.
The Role of Magnesium in Heart Rhythm
Magnesium acts as a natural regulator of the heart’s electrical system. It helps control the flow of calcium, potassium, and sodium across cell membranes—ions that trigger each heartbeat. When magnesium is low (hypomagnesemia), these channels become unstable, leading to:
- Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)
- Atrial fibrillation (AFib) episodes
- Tachycardia or erratic pacing
Clinical studies show that low serum magnesium doubles the risk of AFib in patients with heart conditions, while correcting the deficiency often restores normal rhythm within days to weeks.
Why Form Matters: Not All Magnesium Is Equal
Most people know magnesium helps—but bioavailability is key. Common forms like magnesium oxide are only 4% absorbed and often cause digestive upset. Better-absorbed forms include:
- Magnesium Glycinate – crosses the blood-brain barrier, reduces stress-related triggers
- Magnesium Malate – supports cellular energy (ATP), prevents fatigue-induced arrhythmias
- Magnesium Taurate – paired with taurine, stabilizes cardiac membranes and supports healthy blood pressure
This triple combination targets multiple pathways: nervous system calming, energy production, and direct heart muscle support.
EverLumi Triple Magnesium: A Well-Designed Option
One product that combines these three forms effectively is our EverLumi Triple Magnesium. Each serving (2 capsules) delivers 220 mg of elemental magnesium from:
- Glycinate
- Malate
- Taurate
It’s vegan, non-GMO, third-party tested, and uses no fillers or laxative additives. With 60 servings per bottle equaling a 2 month supp;ly, it supports consistent, long-term repletion—ideal for maintaining stable magnesium levels over months.
Users frequently report fewer palpitations within 1–2 weeks, especially when taken at night to support rest and recovery. One reviewer noted:
“My nighttime PVCs dropped dramatically after starting this—finally sleeping through the night.” - Ron L.
Supporting Magnesium with Lifestyle
While supplementation is great start, it works best alongside:
- Diet: Pumpkin seeds, spinach, almonds, dark chocolate
- Hydration: Magnesium needs water to function
- Stress management: Cortisol depletes magnesium
- Sleep: Poor rest worsens deficiency
The Bottom Line
Magnesium isn’t a cure-all, but correcting a deficiency is one of the safest, most evidence-backed ways to reduce benign palpitations and support heart rhythm stability. Choosing a highly absorbable, multi-form supplement like EverLumi Triple Magnesium can make repletion simpler and more effective.
