Magnesium and Sleep

Magnesium plays a crucial role in enhancing sleep quality by increasing depth and reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. The bioavailable form, magnesium threonate, effectively targets the brain and engages the GABA pathway, promoting relaxation. While other forms like magnesium glycinate and malate serve different purposes, magnesium threonate also shows potential neuroprotective benefits. Always approach new supplements with caution, especially considering their effects on heart rhythm.
