The idea behind Magnesium
Calm is not a luxury – it’s a foundation.
Modern life keeps the body in a low-grade state of tension: tight muscles, racing thoughts, poor sleep. Over time, this state becomes normalized – and the body begins to forget what ease feels like.
Magnesium Glycinate was created to gently interrupt that cycle. It restores what is often missing, not with sedation, but through replenishment. Because when magnesium levels rise, so does the body’s ability to relax, regulate, and restore itself.
More than 70% of people in Western countries don’t meet their daily magnesium needs – and globally, it’s estimated that up to 30% may experience a subclinical deficiency. Stress, caffeine, and poor sleep only increase the body’s demand – and widen a gap that quietly makes people even more deficient.
This formula delivers magnesium in a form that’s not only highly bioavailable, but also buffered with glycine – an amino acid known for its calming and neuromuscular effects.
Taken daily, it becomes a small act of alignment: less resistance, more readiness.
For Whom – And When It Matters Most
Magnesium Glycinate is especially helpful for:
- People with high stress, screen time, or disrupted sleep
- Those experiencing muscle tension, eye twitching, or nighttime restlessness
- Evening use as part of a calming wind-down ritual
- Anyone who drinks coffee regularly (which increases magnesium excretion)
- Athletically active individuals who want to support recovery, muscular relaxation, and electrolyte balance
Whether it’s for stress resilience or deeper sleep, this formula helps meet your body where it’s overdrawn – and gently brings it back to balance.
Thoughtful Synergy – Why This Form Works
Glycine and magnesium don’t just coexist in this formula – they amplify each other. Magnesium calms the body through biochemical regulation. Glycine signals safety through the nervous system. Together, they:
- Support parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) activation
- Reduce excitatory activity in the brain
- Promote smoother muscle function and nervous system recovery
The result is not sedation – but a body that remembers how to exhale.
Calm and Gentle
Smart Ingredients – Chosen with Purpose
- Magnesium Glycinate (200 mg elemental magnesium)
A chelated, gut-friendly form of magnesium bound to glycine. This combination promotes optimal absorption while supporting both physical and neurological relaxation. - Glycine (from the chelate)
Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps calm the nervous system, ease muscle tension, and prepare the brain for deeper sleep.
Why Magnesium Matters
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body – many of which directly affect how we feel:
- It regulates the stress response by modulating the HPA axis (short for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis – the body's central stress-response system, coordinating how we react to pressure and recover from it)
- It supports GABA activity, the body’s primary calming neurotransmitter
- It reduces neuromuscular tension, including jaw clenching, twitching, and restlessness
- It helps balance the body’s use of calcium – necessary for muscle contraction – by facilitating proper muscle release
Without sufficient magnesium, the body gets stuck in activation mode. Muscles stay tight. Sleep stays light. Stress feels louder.
This isn’t just theory – it’s measurable. Studies show that magnesium supplementation can:
- Reduce symptoms of mild anxiety (e.g. Wienecke et al., 2021)
- Improve sleep quality and latency, especially in older adults (Abbasi et al., 2012)
- Ease symptoms of PMS, including mood shifts and physical discomfort (Chandra et al., 2021)
Deep Regeneration
Pairs Well With – Thoughtful Complements
To deepen evening calm and reinforce circadian rhythm. Magnesium enhances the effects of L-Theanine and GABA by facilitating their action at the receptor level – helping the body settle more quickly into a state of calm, both mentally and physically. The result is a more seamless transition into rest – and a night of more continuous, restorative sleep.
To support long-term HPA axis regulation and cortisol balance. (The HPA axis – short for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis – is the body’s central stress response system, coordinating how we react to pressure and recover from it.) Magnesium and Ashwagandha form a powerful base for stress resilience and emotional balance.
To reduce neuroinflammation and support brain communication. Together, they improve the physical and biochemical landscape of calm.
Closing Statement
At Linoé, we believe that calm is not something you wait for – it’s something you build, gently, every day. Magnesium Glycinate is a quiet ally in that process: simple, steady, and deeply restorative.
