Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate Sticks provide a convenient powdered magnesium formula designed to support restful sleep, muscle relaxation, stress management, cardiovascular health, and cellular energy production. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions throughout the body and contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, bone health, healthy blood vessel function, glucose metabolism, and normal heart rhythm. The formula uses Magnesium Bisglycinate, also known as Magnesium Glycinate, in which magnesium is bound to two glycine molecules to support efficient absorption and good gastrointestinal tolerability. Glycine also has calming properties, making this form particularly suitable for evening or pre-bedtime supplementation. The lightly sweetened powder mixes easily with water, juice, or another powdered supplement and is designed to have a lower laxative effect than some other magnesium forms. Individually packed sticks provide convenient supplementation at home, after exercise, or while travelling. The formula is NSF Certified for Sport.
