Magnesium lysinate for better stress management

This assertion is based on several distinctive properties of this specific form of magnesium. Here are the main reasons:

1. High bioavailability

Magnesium lysinate is formed by binding magnesium to lysine, an essential amino acid. This combination ensures optimal absorption in the intestine. Compared with other forms, such as magnesium oxide (poorly absorbed), magnesium lysinate is better assimilated, guaranteeing efficient magnesium intake.

Good bioavailability is crucial for muscular benefits and nervous system support, as magnesium must reach the cells to be effective.

2. Effects on muscles

Magnesium plays a key role in :

• Muscle relaxation: It regulates muscular contractions and prevents cramps, particularly in athletes or in cases of deficiency.
• Muscle recovery: in association with lysine, magnesium lysinate improves muscle fiber repair in synergy with metabolic processes.
• Cortisol regulation: Magnesium helps stabilize the production of this stress hormone.
• Promotes relaxation: By modulating GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors, it plays a direct role in managing anxiety and promoting a calm state.
• Lysine reinforces the effect: It has been studied for its potential to reduce anxiety, by acting on the central nervous system, making it a synergistic combination with magnesium.

4. Fewer digestive side effects

Compared with other forms of magnesium (such as citrate or chloride), magnesium lysinate is generally better tolerated. It reduces the risk of diarrhea or intestinal irritation, which is a major advantage for sensitive individuals.

5. Synergistic effect with lysine

In addition to aiding magnesium absorption, lysine plays a direct role in :

• Collagen production, beneficial for muscles, tendons and joints.
• Support for immune function, often impaired in times of stress.

Magnesium lysinate is a preferred option for muscle and stress management thanks to :

1. Excellent bioavailability.
2. High digestive tolerance.
3. Synergistic action between magnesium and lysine.

This form is particularly suitable for sport horses, those under chronic stress or those prone to muscle cramps. For an informed choice, opt for quality products that have been clinically tested.
