INFORMATION ON MAGNESIUM (GLYCINATE)

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions. Magnesium glycinate consists of magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which enhances absorption and provides calming, neuro-supportive effects.

This form is particularly well tolerated and less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects compared to other magnesium salts.

Functions:

  • Supports neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling

  • Regulates the stress response and HPA axis activity

  • Contributes to ATP (energy) production

  • Supports glucose metabolism and insulin action

  • Helps regulate inflammatory pathways

TAILORBLEND uses magnesium glycinate for its superior bioavailability, calming properties, and excellent gastrointestinal tolerance.
