Magnesium Bisglycinate

Yes, it promotes muscle and nerve relaxation, which facilitates falling asleep. It also contributes to melatonin production, the sleep hormone, and reduces nocturnal awakenings.

Supplementation can therefore improve sleep quality, especially in people prone to anxiety or stress-related sleep disorders.

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

This varies from person to person, but the first benefits on energy from magnesium supplementation appear after 2 to 3 weeks. In cases of severe deficiency, it can take up to a month to restore optimal balance.

The important thing is to maintain regular intake to observe lasting effects.

Yes, magnesium helps reduce fatigue by supporting energy metabolism. A lack of magnesium can lead to fatigue and a decrease in vitality. Supplementing with magnesium helps maintain energy and dynamism on a daily basis.

Magnesium plays a key role in regulating the nervous system by participating in the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation.

Magnesium glycinate is particularly beneficial because it is well absorbed by the body and can help reduce nervousness, muscle tension, and anxious thoughts. It is therefore a valuable ally for better stress management in daily life.

It is very rare. Reactions attributed to magnesium are most often linked to excipients or certain less well-tolerated forms, such as oxide or marine magnesium. The bisglycinate form, combined with a K-Caps® vegetable capsule without controversial additives, is designed to minimize these risks.

Aux doses recommandées, le magnésium bisglycinate est bien toléré. C’est d’ailleurs l’une des formes les mieux tolérées au niveau digestif. En cas de surdosage, des vertiges, diarrhées ou nausées peuvent survenir.

The ideal time to take magnesium depends on your goal:

• If you are taking magnesium bisglycinate to reduce stress, increase energy levels, or relax your muscles, it is best to take it with a meal, either in the morning or at midday.
• If your goal is to improve sleep quality, it is better to take magnesium bisglycinate in the evening, just before bed.

We recommend taking magnesium at a fixed time each day and consistently. Like all dietary supplements, regularity is key to seeing results.

It is perfectly fine to take all three capsules in one dose to optimize absorption.

However, if you are sensitive or prefer gradual absorption, you can spread them out over the day (morning, midday, and evening).

The most important thing is to find the routine that works best for you.

It is possible to take it continuously, especially if your diet is low in magnesium.

However, some people prefer to take a break of one to two months after several months of supplementation to avoid digestive adaptation.

This magnesium supplement can be given to children from 4 years old, with a dosage adapted to their age. The recommended daily dose is 2 capsules for children aged 4 to 10 and 3 capsules from 11 years old.

It is always preferable to seek the advice of a healthcare professional before starting supplementation in children.

Yes, pregnant women can consume magnesium, as their needs increase during pregnancy. However, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate dosage.

La posologie du Magnésium Bisglycinate Novoma est de 3 gélules par jour, soit 300 mg de magnésium élémentaire. À titre de repère, l’Anses recommande des apports nutritionnels de 300 mg/j chez la femme et 380 mg/j chez l’homme (3).

Magnesium plays an important role in muscle function: it regulates the entry of calcium into cells, a mechanism that determines muscle contraction and relaxation. When intake is insufficient, muscle tension and discomfort can appear more easily (6).

This situation affects both athletes subjected to repeated exertion and sedentary individuals exposed to physical tension related to stress or prolonged posture.

In this context, a regular intake of magnesium bisglycinate contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.

Food quality has changed significantly in recent years, transforming our diet. Many essential elements, including magnesium, are naturally less present in our food.

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

And in some situations, our needs may increase. This is the case for pregnant women, athletes, and the elderly.

Magnesium-rich foods include whole grains, dark chocolate and cocoa, oilseeds, seafood and shellfish, oily fish, legumes, dried fruits, and tofu.
