Magnesium, Mindful Drinking, and Why Heylo Is Changing the Game

We’ve all heard about magnesium — but if you’re anything like me, it’s one of those minerals you know you should be getting more of, yet it slips under the radar. The truth? Magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in your body, from helping you sleep soundly to keeping your muscles and mood in check.

Now pair that with the rise of the non-alcoholic drinks movement, and suddenly magnesium has found its perfect stage. That’s where Heylo comes in.

Why Magnesium Deserves the Hype

If your days feel a little too fast-paced (and your nights a little too restless), magnesium could be your best friend.

  • For sleep & relaxation: Magnesium calms the nervous system and helps regulate melatonin, making it easier to fall — and stay — asleep.
  • For stress & mood: It plays a role in serotonin and GABA production, which can help ease anxiety and lift your mood.
  • For muscle recovery: Whether you’re a gym-goer or just battling tension from a desk job, magnesium helps reduce cramps and supports recovery.
  • For overall health: From bone strength to blood sugar balance, it’s one of those behind-the-scenes nutrients that quietly keeps things running smoothly.

In short: it’s a wellness all-rounder, yet most of us don’t get enough.

Heylo: Sparkling Wellness in a Can

Instead of popping another pill or mixing chalky powders, Heylo makes magnesium something you actually look forward to drinking.

Born in Brisbane, Heylo was created by Ally, who wanted a healthier alternative to alcohol after dealing with stress and anxiety. The result? A range of magnesium-infused sparkling waters that are just as fun as they are functional.

  • Each can packs around 75–90mg of bioavailable magnesium (the kind your body absorbs best).
  • The flavours are not only refreshing but also tailored to different moods:
    • 🍋 Lemon for Calm
    • 🍒 Cherry for Sleep
    • 🍇 Blackcurrant for Focus
    • 🥒 Cucumber-Mint for Detox
  • Zero sugar, low calorie, vegan, and packaged with the planet in mind.

Plenty of people have swapped their evening glass of wine for a can of Heylo, and the reviews speak for themselves: better sleep, less stress, and fewer 3am wake-ups.

The Bigger Picture: The Non-Alcoholic Boom

Here’s the exciting part: Heylo isn’t just riding a trend, it’s helping define it.

The non-alcoholic drinks market is exploding — set to more than double in value globally over the next decade, reaching over $2.6 trillion by 2034. Closer to home, Australia’s non-alc sector is growing at about 5% a year.

Why? Because more of us are rethinking our relationship with alcohol. Younger generations in particular are reaching for healthier, functional alternatives that don’t compromise on taste or ritual. Drinks like Heylo — which combine flavour, wellness, and that all-important “occasion” feel — are perfectly placed to thrive.

Final Sip

Magnesium might be the quiet achiever of the wellness world, but Heylo is making it impossible to ignore. By blending science-backed benefits with a sparkling, alcohol-free experience, Heylo has created something that fits perfectly into today’s lifestyle: mindful, health-focused, and genuinely enjoyable.

If you’ve been curious about non-alcoholic options or looking for an easy way to up your magnesium intake, Heylo could be the switch your body (and mind) thank you for.
