“The same thing happened to me when i first started taking magnesium. Now i only take it when i feel like i need it. It has been a life changer 😌”
U/[DELETED] ↗“Does the same thing for me. Not sot sure how common it is, seems like most people love Magnesium Glycinate but it makes me so tired and lasts well into the day after taking it.”
U/DITKA_DA_BUS_DRIVER ↗“Some people react sensitively to glycine, glycinate, or bisglycinate with symptoms like fatigue, sleepiness, or even worsening of depressive mood. Here's why this can happen: --- 🧠 1. Glycine is a neuroactive substance Glycine acts as both an inhibitory neurotransmitter (like GABA) and a co-agonist of the NMDA receptor (which affects glutamate activity). In sensitive individuals, this can over-enhance inhibitory signaling, leading to: Drowsiness Mental slowing Emotional dullness or low mood --- 🧬 2.”
