Magnesium Taurate & Magnesium Glycinate capsules

MAG+ combines two forms of amino acid-bound magnesium, which provides benefits from both bioavailable magnesium and the highly therapeutic amino acids Taurate and Glycinate. These amino acids are GABA-promoting, anti-inflammatory, and provide a relaxation effect. Bioavailable magnesium is both extremely anti-stress, as well as essential to the creation and conductivity of energy all throughout the body. 

See the product background tab below to learn more about the importance of magnesium in the body.

Benefits

Magnesium is arguably the main conductor of electricity in the human body, along with water. It has a role in the activation of over 40% of the enzymes in our bodies (3700+), and helps us with many functions including but not limited to:

  • Synthesize hormones from cholesterol*
  • Produce energy from the food we eat*
  • Relax muscles & prevent cramping*
  • Lower stress*
  • Sleep restfully*
  • Regulate calcium levels*
  • Support heart function*
  • Maintain proper blood pressure*

*These Statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Association, or Health Canada. These products are not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any diseases.

Taurine is an amino acid with a long list of impressive benefits. 

It has been shown to: [3-11]

  • Thermoregulate (body temperature maintenance)
  • Balance calcium homeostasis
  • Improve detoxification
  • Reduce anxiety
  • Improve testosterone production
  • Help maintain electrolyte balance
  • Regulate blood pressure
  • Protect from liver damage
  • Improve glucose levels
  • Reduce cholesterol levels
  • Support neurotransmitter production
  • Protect cognitive function

Glycine is another highly therapeutic amino acid. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, and pro-metabolic. 

Some benefits include: [12-21]

  • increasing glutathione
  • improved sleep quality
  • increase healthy lifespan
  • reduces tissue inflammation
  • reduces high blood pressure
  • collagen production
  • liver protective
How to Take

Take 4 capsules daily, with or without food.

Can be taken in conjunction with Balance (magnesium bicarbonate)

Magnesium is not just a mineral, it's a key player in our metabolic function. Without it, our bodies struggle to create the energy needed for every task, big or small, that we tackle each day. By ensuring we have adequate magnesium levels, we can support our overall health and vitality. Check out our blog post: What is Magnesium & Why Do You Need it? for a more in-depth look.

Why are we deficient?

It's no wonder we often find ourselves deficient in magnesium. Our modern lifestyles, filled with stress, intense exercise/sweating, and/or lack of sleep, can quickly deplete our magnesium levels. Even factors like dehydration and low thyroid function can contribute. That's why it's crucial to replenish our magnesium levels daily, to support our bodies in the face of these challenges.

    Nursing a 2 year old and noticed a difference within days

    I used to take mag glycinate regularly but switched to multiple different kinds a couple of years ago for various reasons. However, recently when approaching my son’s 2nd birthday, I was feeling super depleted and we rarely had restful nights. I still breastfeed him throughout the night and when I tell you that I had only had one stretch of 4 hours of sleep his entire life, I’m not exaggerating. I felt like I’d tried everything to support his sleep better, and also mine. It finally occurred to me that magnesium might be an issue, since all of the forms I used were limited to bowel tolerance. I wasn’t able to take higher doses, and given that I was nursing on demand 24/7 for 2 years, I definitely knew I needed extra.

    Truly, within maybe 3 nights (probably sooner) I swear HE was sleeping the longest stretches he’d ever slept and even on the nights that he still nursed every 2 hours, my oura ring was still picking up better *restfulness* on my sleep chart when normally this category was in the red. 🤯 it’s not perfect at all, but after being at my breaking point for weeks and finally feeling human again, I know this made a huge difference.

    I found this chart from my oura ring the night after my order was delivered (5/19) - a 5 hour stretch from 2am to 7am wake up, when normally that’s his most active (see other screenshot which was more of our usual).
