Wellness Focus:

The Many Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate

This month, we’re featuring one of our favorite supplements for whole-body wellness—magnesium glycinate. If you’ve been feeling muscle tension, stress, or restless sleep creeping back into your days, this may be the gentle, effective support your body needs.

​

Why Magnesium Matters

Magnesium is essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in your body. It supports energy production, muscle and nerve function, bone strength, and relaxation. Unfortunately, many people are deficient, often leading to symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, muscle cramps, or sleep disturbances.

Why Choose Magnesium Glycinate

Not all magnesium supplements are the same. The glycinate form stands out for its high absorption rate and gentle effect on the stomach. Unlike other forms like magnesium oxide or citrate, magnesium glycinate is bound to glycine—an amino acid that promotes calm and enhances absorption without the gastrointestinal side effects common in other types.

Here’s how it compares:

  • Magnesium Oxide: High magnesium content but low absorption; can cause digestive upset.
  • Magnesium Citrate: Better absorption but may have a laxative effect.
  • Magnesium Glycinate: High bioavailability, gentle on digestion, and great for stress, sleep, and muscle support.
