Magnesium Glycinate, 90 capsules

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a key role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, supporting healthy blood glucose levels, and bone health. It is also essential for energy production and maintaining a healthy immune system.

Magnesium helps support over 600 biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, and healthy blood pressure levels already within a normal range. It also supports DNA and RNA production and plays a key role in energy metabolism.

Magnesium is beneficial for various aspects of well-being. It supports a healthy response to stress, promotes restful sleep quality, aids muscle recovery, and contributes to heart and bone health. It helps promote relaxation in both the body and mind, which in turn supports a balanced mood.*

The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is about 400-420 mg for men and 310-320 mg for women.

Individual needs can vary based on factors such as age, activity level, and health conditions.

We always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

While marketing campaigns often label Threonate as the "only" brain magnesium, the full scientific picture reveals that Magnesium Glycinate provides a dual-action cognitive benefit that Threonate cannot match.
1. The "Threonate Study" Context
The claim that Threonate is unique relies heavily on a single 2010 study (Slutsky et al., Neuron) conducted on rats. While it showed Threonate raised brain magnesium levels, it compared Threonate primarily to Magnesium Chloride and Citrate—forms with significantly lower bioavailability. It did not compare Threonate against high-absorption Magnesium Glycinate. In reality, any form of magnesium that effectively raises serum levels (like Glycinate) contributes to the active transport of magnesium into the brain.
2. Cognitive function and memory formation rely on NMDA Receptors in the brain. Magnesium Glycinate is uniquely suited for this because it supplies both essential components for these receptors:
• Magnesium: Acts as the "gatekeeper," blocking the receptor to prevent over-stimulation (excitotoxicity) and background noise.
• Glycine: Acts as an obligatory co-agonist. Studies show that NMDA receptors cannot function properly to form memories (Long-Term Potentiation) without Glycine present at the synaptic binding site.
3. Cognitive performance is downstream of Sleep Quality. A landmark study (Yamadera et al., 2007) demonstrated that Glycine ingestion before bed significantly improved sleep efficacy and reduced daytime fatigue and brain fog. Since memory consolidation occurs specifically during Deep Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS), the glycine in our formula actively enhances the brain's structural ability to store information.

Magnesium glycinate is often recommended for supporting sleep and a calm mood due to its high absorption rate and gentle effects. It helps promote relaxation in both the mind and body.

The glycinate form is a combination of magnesium and the amino acid glycine, which also has properties that support restful sleep.

Magnesium glycinate is known for promoting relaxation, supporting restful sleep quality, and aiding muscle recovery, all while being gentle on the stomach.

The glycine component also plays a role in these benefits, as it has been studied for its effects on sleep and next-day alertness.

Magnesium glycinate can be taken at any time of day, but many users prefer to take it in the evening to best support its relaxing and sleep-promoting benefits.

Consistency is key, so choose a time that works best for your routine.
