Why is magnesium provided in its glycinate form?
Metagenics usse magnesium glycinate - a form of magnesium that has been shown to be better absorbed than cheaper forms and does not upset sensitive stomachs.
What are the key ingredients?
Magnesium is well known for its relaxing, sleep-supporting properties, helping to calm both mind and body before bed. It has a relaxing effect on muscles and nerves and is essential for supporting our nervous system and psychological wellbeing. Research from the latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey found that many people in the UK are struggling to get the recommended amount of magnesium through their diet.
MegaMag® Night Plus features magnesium as glycinate, with the magnesium being bound to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid which helps it be absorbed through the gut wall. Glycine itself has been shown to have relaxing properties, helping you to fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly.1 Unlike other forms of magnesium, magnesium glycinate is also extremely well-tolerated, making it the perfect partner for sleep.
The hop plant (Humulus lupulus) has been used traditionally to help with sleep. Compounds in the plant act on GABAA receptors, which are involved in sleep regulation.
L-tryptophan is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is not only important for mood balance, but may also be converted into melatonin which is important for regulating the sleep-wake cycle.
Lactium®, a milk protein hydrolysate from casein, supports relaxation and a normal stress response.
L-theanine, is a naturally occurring amino acid found in the tea plant (Camella sinensis), which is known to have relaxing properties, achieved through enhanced alpha brain wave activity and increased synthesis of GABA. Increased GABA, in turn, increases brain levels of dopamine and serotonin, resulting in general feelings of calm and well-being.2 L-theanine is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream after digestion where it reaches maximal concentration within 30 minutes to 2 hours and can cross the blood brain barrier for transport directly to the brain.3 L-theanine typically begins to show its calming effects within 30-40 minutes after ingestion, and lasts 8-10 hours.
Why is MegaMag® Night Formula provided as a powder format?
A powder format means that high levels of these nutrients can be delivered in a single dose and it's convenient to take - mixing with water or juice to make a pleasant night time drink.
