Magnesium glycinate, also referred to as magnesium bisglycinate or magnesium diglycinate, is an organic magnesium salt or amino acid chelate formed by merging inorganic magnesium with the amino acid glycine.
Glycine significantly contributes to the formation of collagen and elastin, supports bile acid function, and serves as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glycine also is the smallest amino acid, small enough to fit through the tiniest spaces.
Key benefits of taking magnesium glycinate include:
promote nervous system relaxation,
helping manage headaches and migraines,
boosting concentration and memory,
reduce anxiety,
offering calming effects on both the mind and body,
ease PMS symptoms,
improve sleep quality (falling asleep and staying asleep),
ease cramps and spasms,
regulate high blood pressure,
support bone health, and
regulate blood sugar levels.

It is readily absorbed by the body and has a high bioavailability, providing fast and effective results. As 1 in 3 people are magnesium deficient taking a supplement that will absorb and be utilised by the body is important.
Magnesium is required in our body to support over 300 enzyme systems that perform as many as 600 critical functions including energy production, muscle contraction, nervous system regulation, protein synthesis, and overall cellular function.
