Magnesium Glycinate
A highly-absorbed form of magnesium that supports relaxation and deep sleep.
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and is essential for muscle relaxation, nervous-system regulation, and sleep depth. Most Americans don't get enough from diet alone.
What it is
Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to glycine. The glycine improves absorption and contributes its own calming, sleep-supportive effects. Unlike magnesium oxide, glycinate is gentle on the stomach and doesn't have a laxative effect at low doses.
How it works
Magnesium activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the body's rest-and-digest mode), regulates GABA, and supports the natural decline in cortisol that should happen before sleep.
