Magnesium is a mineral that is essential for the proper functioning of the body. It plays a role in many important physiological processes, including the contraction and relaxation of muscles, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the regulation of blood pressure. Magnesium is found in a variety of foods, including leafy green vegetables, nuts, and grains, and it is also available as a dietary supplement. There are several different forms of magnesium that are available as supplements, all of which can be used to prevent deficiency. Additionally, magnesium is purported to have several different health benefits, such as improving sleep, reducing muscle cramps, reducing anxiety, and preventing or treating migraines. Although magnesium is essential for health, magnesium-containing foods and supplements can interact with some prescription medications if used at the same time.

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a flowering plant belonging to the daisy family. It is native to Europe and has been traditionally used for a variety of medicinal purposes, including the treatment of fever, headache, and inflammation. Some studies have suggested that feverfew may help to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, although the results have been mixed. Most feverfew dietary supplements are standardized for the parthenolide content, a lactone thought to be responsible for some of its effects.

Ginger is a spice native to Asia and part of the Zingiberaceae family. It has a pungent, spicy flavor and is often used to add flavor to dishes and drinks. Ginger has a long history of use in traditional medicine and is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other medicinal properties. It is commonly used to treat nausea, motion sickness, and other digestive issues. Ginger is also sometimes used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Ginger supplements generally standardize several compounds found in the root, and are often labeled as containing a certain amount of 'ginger root extract'.

Frankincense is a resin obtained from the Boswellia tree, which is native to the Arabian Peninsula and Africa. In traditional medicine, frankincense has been used for reducing inflammation and pain, as well as improving digestion and immune function. Frankincense essential oil is also used in aromatherapy for its calming and relaxing properties. It is important to note that both frankincense and Boswellia supplements refer to different forms of the same substance, which is derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree. Frankincense supplements refer to supplements that contain the resin of the Boswellia tree in its natural form, while Boswellia supplements contain an extract from the resin of the Boswellia tree, specifically boswellic acids. These supplements are often standardized to a specific amount of boswellic acids to ensure consistency in the product.
