“It's the glycine. There are people who react very well to it and people who don't tolerate it at all.”
U/YUNLIHAI ↗“Ashwaghanda and magnesium have chilled me out so much. Combination of better sleep, which in turn gives me more energy during the day and overall feel so much happier. I still feel wound up sometimes but I know it will pass. I used to dread going to bed with the anticipation that I’d be waking up multiple times. I’m so excited to go to bed now and I’m shocked when I look at the clock and I’ve managed to sleep through. I used to wake up so full of nervous energy as if I’d had an electric shock. Now I ease out of sleep like a regular person feeling refreshed!”
U/LUXLOULOU ↗“Magnesium glycinate gives me terrible insomnia. I normally sleep well and fall asleep quickly. If I take magnesium Glycinate it's almost impossible for me to sleep, I will be up all night. I switched to magnesium malate and I sleep fine again.”
