Will magnesium glycinate make me sleepy?

NO - MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE WILL NOT MAKE YOU SLEEPY OR DROWSY

Glycine can help with relaxation, pain, and sleep, but that't not all it's good for. The glycine in magnesium glycinate is used to chelate the magnesium for better absorption and gentler digestion.

Glycine also contributes to these benefits:

  • Reduced Anxiety and Stress
  • Supports Antioxidant Production 
  • Supports Muscle Recovery and Joint Health 
  • Improves Metabolic Health 
  • Aids in Creatine Production

Glycine is an important amino acid that plays a significant role in the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, and the production of creatine. And we all know the benefits of creatine.

Here's why we believe magnesium glycinate is the best option out there:

Chelated: Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium - chelated forms are better absorbed and digested easier when compared to non-chelated forms.

Bioavailability: Studies show that chelated forms of minerals can be absorbed up to twice as effectively as non-chelated forms - allowing lower doses to have the same benefits as high doses of non-chelated minerals.

Safety: Due to chelation - magnesium glycinate has been studied to be the safest form when taken in high amounts.
