Cordyceps - Zombie in Reality
Cordyceps sinensis - this is our zombie predator. In China, it is called "in winter insects, in summer herbs." Imagine a fungus that during reproduction in summer shoots its spores (seeds), which attach to the insect's body. It gradually grows throughout and parasitizes it, devours it from the inside out, with the insect still alive, even altering its outer appearance but still foraging until it retreats underground where it dies and mummifies. The fungus can survive in it for a longer period. The fungus literally controls the host's body, growing out of its body in summer, forming slender "sticks" 5-20 cm high. This inspired the video game series Last of Us where the Cordyceps fungus turns humankind into zombies. In real life, this video game unfolds in the actual life of insects.

Calming Magnesium (Magnesium Bisglycinate)
Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the body. The name magnesium originates from the Greek city of Magnesia, where this element was first discovered in 1755. It is the 8th most abundant element on Earth, constituting about 2% of the Earth's crust. It has a naturally sour taste, which is also present in mineral waters. We find it in every cell of a green plant, and (magnesium ions are present) also in every cell of the human body. Our body needs magnesium for more than 300 biochemical processes, such as energy production and nucleic acid synthesis, maintaining the correct heart rhythm, and blood pressure. It's hard to find a process in the body that magnesium does not affect.
