At Ethical Nutrition we offer 3 forms of magnesium: glycinate, malate, and taurate. Each form delivers a high rate of absorption with low risk of digestive discomfort compared to other forms of magnesium such as oxide and carbonate. Magnesium glycinate is an easy to digest and well absorbed form of magnesium that may help regulate mood, support restful sleep, and optimise energy levels. Using glycine as the mineral carrier molecule increases the absorption of magnesium across the intestinal wall, making it an effective choice for those looking to improve magnesium levels [1].

Reduces anxiety and depression: The combined calming effects of magnesium and glycine may lower symptoms related to stress and anxiety [2].

It does so by reducing the activity of excitatory neurotransmitters and enhancing serotonin transmission to help regulate mood.

Magnesium helps modulate stress hormone sensitivity which in turn downregulates the stress response.

Improves sleep quality by promoting muscle relaxation and supporting biochemical pathways associated with sleep, leading to better mental focus and less daytime fatigue [3].

Supports blood pressure regulation: Magnesium works with calcium to maintain healthy blood pressure levels and support overall cardiovascular health[4].

Decreases PMS symptoms: Shown to alleviate cramps and pain associated with PMS, likely due to its anti-inflammatory and muscle-relaxing properties [5].

Enhances insulin function and glucose metabolism. Magnesium supplements have been shown to improve insulin resistance and aid glucose metabolism [6].

Magnesium glycinate may be helpful for people with: A diet low in magnesium. Diets that lack green leafy vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, and seeds, are likely to be very low in magnesium. Low energy, fatigue, and chronic fatigue. PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome) and other hormonal imbalances. Low mood, depression, and anxiety. Poor sleep patterns and insomnia. People with insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. People with high blood pressure.
