Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium bisglycinate is a form of magnesium that is more easily absorbed by the body and better tolerated at the digestive level.

Its benefits are those of magnesium, a mineral which plays an essential role in the body by contributing to the reduction of stress, fatigue and the proper functioning of the nervous system.

The ideal time to take magnesium varies depending on your wellness goal:

• If you are using magnesium bisglycinate for stress reduction, increasing your energy levels, or relaxing your muscles, it is recommended to take it with a meal, either in the morning or at noon.
• If your goal is to improve the quality of your sleep, it is best to take magnesium bisglycinate in the evening, just before bed.
  

We advise you to take magnesium at fixed times, on a regular basis. Like all food supplements, it is regularity that will make the difference.

The first benefits of a magnesium treatment appear after 3 to 4 weeks of regular intake. For optimal and more complete effects, we recommend a 3-month treatment.

Magnesium acts on stress by regulating the nervous system response. It participates in the production of neurotransmitters such as GABA, which promotes relaxation and reduces neuronal excitability. It also helps maintain electrolyte balance, thus supporting optimal nerve function and reducing the feeling of stress.

Yes, magnesium can promote relaxation that helps you fall asleep and has a positive effect on sleep quality by regulating neurotransmitters and the sleep hormone, melatonin.

There are several signs that can indicate a magnesium deficiency. Fatigue, muscle cramps, irritability or sleep disturbances can, for example, indicate a magnesium deficiency.

The quality of food has changed significantly in recent years and our diet has been transformed. Many essential elements, including magnesium, are naturally less present.

Our current lifestyle, stress and anxiety also contribute to the loss of magnesium.

And in certain situations, our needs may be increased. This is the case for pregnant women, athletes or even the elderly.

Foods rich in magnesium include whole grains, dark chocolate and cocoa, oilseeds, seafood and molluscs, oily fish, legumes, dried fruits and tofu.

The recommended daily dose of magnesium may vary depending on gender and age.

In men, the recommended nutritional intake is between 400 and 420 mg per day, in women between 300 and 320 mg, and around 400 mg in adolescents.

As for food supplements, it is generally recommended not to exceed 300 mg per day, which corresponds to approximately 80% of the recommended intake, in order to limit the risks of overdose, as food provides magnesium.
