Magnesium Glycinate
Also known as Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium in the form of glycinate is a powerful muscle relaxant as well as being the key component in the action of many enzymes in the body. Critical for energy metabolism and muscle function.
Magnesium in the glycinate form is highly bioavailable, which means it is well absorbed by the body without causing the typical gastro-intestinal side-effects attributed to some other forms of magnesium.
Magnesium Glycinate is well absorbed via active transport in the small intestine and the attached amino acid has added therapeutic value. Unfortunately, most people do not have sufficient levels for optimal health, as studies suggest that 50-90% of people are deficient in magnesium.

Ingredient Benefits
Supports sleep induction
A growing body of evidence is expanding our understanding of the relationship between magnesium consumption and sleep disorder symptoms including daytime falling asleep, sleepiness and snoring. Supplementation of Mg also appears to improve subjective measures of insomnia, sleep efficiency, sleep time, sleep onset latency and early morning awakening in elderly people.
Calming effects for stress and anxiety
Glycine is well known as a calming amino acid and is combined with magnesium in Magnesium Glycinate. Due to the calming and relaxing effect of both glycine and magnesium this combination has been used successfully for chronic pain and muscle tension, as well as to help improve sleep quality. Its use in a number of mood and neurological disorders is also under investigation.
Relieves muscle soreness
Muscle stiffness, chronic irritability and fatigue are common signs of magnesium deficiency. Oral magnesium supplement can improve the frequency and intensity of pregnancy‐induced leg cramps.
