According to a 2017 study, magnesium may help prevent dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation. Many seek natural relief using Mag Phos, a homeopathic form of magnesium phosphate, to alleviate period pain.

Despite containing the word 'magnesium,' MAG phos is a homeopathic preparation, while magnesium itself is an essential mineral nutrient involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. This difference in preparation and philosophy is critical for understanding their distinct applications and effects.

Over one-third of American adults use some form of complementary or alternative medicine, including homeopathy. Within this practice, magnesium phosphoricum is a key remedy known for its antispasmodic properties and is commonly used to alleviate cramping pains throughout the body.
