Sourcing
Magnesium chelated with two molecules of glycine in a German pharmaceutical facility. We avoid magnesium oxide entirely, its absorption is poor and its laxative effect is well-documented.
How it works
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions. The glycinate form crosses the gut wall efficiently and crosses the blood-brain barrier, supporting GABAergic signalling.
How to take it
Take 30-60 minutes before bed. Avoid combining with caffeine in the evening.
