Ashwagandha + Magnesium Glycinate & L-Theanine

Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium that combines magnesium with the amino acid glycine. This form is known for being gentle on the stomach and is well absorbed by the body. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in many bodily processes, including muscle function and nervous system support.

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. The body stores most of its magnesium in the bones, with the remainder located in the muscles and soft tissues.

Functionally, magnesium is an essential component of over 300 essential enzyme reactions; and is an integral part of most biological processes. It assists with nerve function; supports blood vessel wall tone; supports nerve, heart and muscle function; and assists with healthy bone development.

The Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand (1) recommend the following daily elemental Magnesium intake:

Men                                

Age: 19-30 | RDI (mg): 400

Age: 31+ | RDI (mg): 420

Women

Age: 19-30, RDI (mg): 310

Age: 31+, RDI (mg): 320

An Individual needs can vary based on factors like age, lifestyle, and diet.

For example:

• Stress, excessive sweating, and digestive issues can deplete magnesium levels, increasing the body's need for this essential mineral.
• A diet high in processed foods & sugar, combined with insufficient consumption of magnesium-rich foods like green leafy vegetables, nuts, and seeds, can also lead to deficiencies.
• Chronic caffeine or alcohol consumption acts as a diuretic, causing the body to excrete more magnesium, which can further contribute to lower levels.

In these situations, a higher magnesium intake may be required to maintain levels your body needs and support overall health.

• Musculoskeletal signs may include muscle tension, twitches, soreness, weakness or cramps, recurrent migraines and tension headaches

• Smooth muscle contraction signs may include constipation and menstrual cramps

The biggest difference between different types of magnesium isn’t so much the magnesium itself, but rather the complex(es) that it is bound to. This is because magnesium must be bound to another substance to help stabilise it and allow for proper absorption in the body. The complex(es) that it is bound to affects how well it is absorbed and utilised, and therefore the efficacy of a magnesium supplement.

Magnesium glycinate is the magnesium salt of the amino acid Glycine. There are also similar variations of this form: Magnesium diglycinate and Magnesium bisglycinate. These forms of magnesium are often found in what are known as ‘chelated’ magnesium supplements. ‘Chelated’ forms of a mineral mean that an amino acid, such as Glycine, has been attached to the mineral, such as magnesium, making them a very stable form of magnesium that is less likely to cause gastrointestinal symptoms and laxative effects, commonly associated with the oxide form of magnesium.

Magnesium glycinate provides a well-absorbed and gentle form of magnesium that supports several important functions in the body. Magnesium Glycinate is an ideal form of magnesium, as it is more highly absorbed by the body compared to Magnesium oxide.

It helps maintain healthy muscle function and may assist in relieving muscle cramps and mild spasms when dietary magnesium intake is inadequate. Magnesium glycinate also plays a role in supporting the health of the nervous system and contributes to energy production and general wellbeing.

The amount you require depends on factors such as age, sex, lifestyle, and overall health. While magnesium is essential for various bodily functions, excessive intake can cause minor gut disturbances such as looser bowel movements. If this occurs, it's simply an indication that you may have consumed more than your body requires, and you would just reduce your dosage.

Elemental magnesium refers to the actual amount of magnesium present in the supplement. For example, Nutra-Life
Magnesium Glycinate capsules contain 105mg of elemental magnesium per capsule.

Magnesium input amounts refer to the total amount of the magnesium compound in the supplement. For instance, Nutra-Life Magnesium Glycinate capsules contain Magnesium glycinate (compound) 936mg,
which means there is 936mg of Magnesium glycinate in one capsule, of which there is 105mg of elemental magnesium.

It's important to pay attention to the elemental amount rather than the total amount of magnesium when choosing a supplement, as this indicates the actual amount of magnesium available for absorption by the body.
