Calming Magnesium (Magnesium Bisglycinate)

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the body. The name magnesium originates from the Greek city of Magnesia, where this element was first discovered in 1755. It is the 8th most abundant element on Earth, constituting about 2% of the Earth's crust. It has a naturally sour taste, which is also present in mineral waters. We find it in every cell of a green plant, and (magnesium ions are present) also in every cell of the human body. Our body needs magnesium for more than 300 biochemical processes, such as energy production and nucleic acid synthesis, maintaining the correct heart rhythm, and blood pressure. It's hard to find a process in the body that magnesium does not affect.

Magnesium also supports heart contractions and the transfer of signals between nerve cells, helping the body to remain balanced during physical and psychological stress, hence aptly known as the “calming mineral.” Green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds (such as pumpkin, sesame, or chia), and unprocessed grains are excellent sources of magnesium.

This mineral is crucial for healthy bones, collagen production, and regulation of blood sugar levels. A deficiency can lead to issues such as insomnia, nausea, fatigue, tingling in the limbs, or muscle cramps, even stroke or depression. This deficiency can also be caused by smoking, increased alcohol consumption, celiac disease, or digestive disorders. Since our body cannot produce magnesium on its own, it is important to ensure its intake through diet or supplements. Magnesium, specifically magnesium bisglycinate, also known as magnesium chelate, is a form of elemental magnesium bound to an amino acid (glycine), providing benefits over other forms of magnesium. This form is well-absorbed and gentler on the digestive system. It absorbs more efficiently than forms like magnesium oxide or sulfate. Thanks to chelate bonding with glycine, it passes through the intestinal wall more easily, is less irritating to the stomach, and does not cause digestive issues (like diarrhea), making it suitable for individuals with sensitive digestion.

Glycine contributes to relaxation and calming of the nervous system in combination with magnesium, which regulates muscle and nerve tension, contributes to better sleep and stress reduction. Magnesium bisglycinate plays a crucial role in the formation and regulation of melatonin, which is responsible for managing the sleep cycle. Thanks to good absorbability, it is effective in supporting muscle recovery, preventing cramps, and alleviating muscle fatigue, which is particularly appreciated by athletes.

Magnesium has anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate discomfort related to muscle cramps. It aids in the production of glutathione, a natural antioxidant in the body, which reduces inflammation and protects the intestinal lining, thereby reducing the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases. Long-term use is safe and effective in supplementing its deficiency.

Research has shown that sufficient magnesium intake reduces the risk of stroke, cardiovascular diseases, and high blood pressure, as it acts as a natural calcium channel blocker, which also aids in relaxation and vasodilation. Apart from alleviating tension and stress, magnesium also helps with headaches. Magnesium can also be considered as prevention of kidney stone formation, as a supplement in depression treatment.

Magnesium is necessary for the production of serotonin, a known neurotransmitter, playing a significant role in brain function and mental health, also affecting mood. It aids in various health issues, such as heart arrhythmias, migraines, diabetes and its complications, premenstrual syndrome, high blood lipid levels (hyperlipidemia), and asthma. Its use is also recommended for attention disorders, prevention of cataracts, and is also helpful in quitting smoking.

What can you expect from Magnesium 𝒟𝓇. 𝐿𝓊𝒸𝓊𝓁𝓁𝓊𝓈 ? The quality of capsules, which lies in the fact that they contain no additives! Studies show that daily doses in the range of 300–400 mg are safe and effective. Our dietary supplement meets all your needs, from improving muscle function and bone health to enhancing sleep quality and reducing anxiety. It helps lower blood pressure and the risk of stroke and heart diseases. It also benefits nerve and gut health.

Incorporating magnesium into your daily routine can be a significant step towards eliminating fatigue and headaches, improving health and well-being, as it affects not only physical but also mental health.
