Magnesium Glycinate for Calm and Relaxation: What Makes It Different?
Are you looking for the best magnesium to support your mood, sleep and stress levels? Or perhaps you need that extra support to help you switch off and stay calm?
Although magnesium in any form is a vital nutrient for day-to-day health, if supporting your mood, feeling of calm or relaxation is a priority, the BioCare Magnesium Glycinate may be the ideal magnesium supplement for you.
Why is magnesium so important?
Magnesium plays a fundamental role in human health, contributing to over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It supports normal nervous system function, psychological function, muscle contraction, energy production and electrolyte balance. Magnesium is also required for DNA and RNA synthesis.
The recommended daily intake is around 375mg, yet many people may not achieve this through diet alone. Low magnesium status can be influenced by insufficient dietary intake, certain medications, increased physical activity and periods of stress, all of which may increase the body’s magnesium requirements.
Common signs you’re not getting enough magnesium:
- Muscle tightness, cramps or twitching
- Feeling tired or lacking energy Difficulty relaxing or switching off
- Disturbed or restless sleep Increased tension or irritability
- Head tension
- Occasional awareness of heart rhythm
What are the benefits of glycine?
- Glycine is a naturally occurring amino acid and one of the building blocks of protein in the body. It is involved in many important physiological processes, including those within the nervous system.
- It plays a role in neurotransmitter signalling, supporting communication between nerve cells and contributing to normal neurological activity.
- When glycine is bound to magnesium to form magnesium glycinate, it creates a gentle, well-absorbed and well-tolerated form of magnesium, making it suitable for daily use.
- Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function and normal psychological function, and contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. These recognised roles help explain why magnesium glycinate is often chosen by those looking to support calm, balance and overall wellbeing as part of their daily routine.
