Why stomach-friendly magnesium transforms your evening

When muscles work hard during hill workouts or a long cross-country ski session, the body's magnesium stores deplete rapidly. Many of us know that familiar feeling when a calf cramps right as you are falling asleep or your thighs feel restless under the covers. However, not all magnesium supplements on store shelves work the same way, and the cheapest option often upsets your stomach before your muscles can get relief.

The clear benefits of bisglycinate

In magnesium bisglycinate, the mineral is bound to two glycine amino acids. This organic bond makes the compound exceptionally gentle on digestion, as it is absorbed through amino acid transport pathways in the small intestine:

• Gentle on the stomach: The compound does not draw excess water into the intestines, unlike traditional magnesium oxide.
• High bioavailability: The body can use a large portion of the taken dose directly for resting muscle tissue and the nervous system.
• The calming effect of glycine: Glycine itself signals to the brain and body that it is time to prepare for sleep.

How to make magnesium part of your evening routine

We recommend taking the capsules about half an hour before bedtime with a small glass of water. If your evening snack is rich in calcium or fiber, take your magnesium just before lights out so absorption remains as undisturbed as possible. You will often notice after just a couple of evenings that your legs settle down more easily at bedtime.
