What is Magnesium Glycinate?
Magnesium Glycinate combines magnesium with glycine, an amino acid, to form a compound that's well absorbed and gentle on the digestive system compared to some other magnesium forms.
Why is magnesium essential for nerves?
Magnesium plays a role in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body, including those involved in nerve signal transmission and muscle relaxation. Adequate magnesium is considered foundational for normal neuromuscular function.
What does the research say?
Magnesium's role in nerve and muscle function is well documented. See general background via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
Magnesium's role in Nerve Stride
As the cornerstone ingredient, Magnesium Glycinate is paired with Alpha Lipoic Acid to form the nerve-signaling foundation of the Nerve Stride formula. See the full ingredients breakdown.
A note on calm and sleep
Magnesium Glycinate is also commonly associated with promoting a sense of daily calm and supporting restorative sleep, which may complement its nerve-support role.
Safety considerations
Magnesium Glycinate is generally well tolerated. Anyone with kidney issues or who takes medication should consult a doctor before supplementing with magnesium.
