The Mineral of Calm
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system — the “rest and digest” branch that helps you unwind.
How Magnesium Supports Sleep
- Activates GABA receptors, calming brain activity.
- Regulates melatonin, the hormone that sets your sleep-wake rhythm.
- Reduces muscle tension and cramps that interrupt rest.
Which Form To Choose
Magnesium glycinate is well absorbed and gentle on the stomach — ideal for evening use. Avoid oxide, which is poorly absorbed.
Pair an evening magnesium with a fixed wind-down routine and cool, dark room for the best results.
