Our Magnesium Night Powder combines three powerful ingredients—Magnesium Bisglycinate, natural Passionflower extract, and Glutamine—to help promote healthy sleep patterns, reduce muscle tension, and enhance overall well-being. Magnesium is an essential mineral and critical cofactor for over 300 biochemical processes in the body. It is necessary for every major biological process including energy production, muscle contraction, cardiovascular function and nervous system health. Magnesium deficiency is becoming more common as a result of food processing, dietary insufficiency and lifestyle factors. Energy metabolism, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal neurological function and neurotransmitter release are all dependent on magnesium. Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a flowering plant native to the Americas, known for its calming and sedative properties. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, particularly those related to sleep and anxiety. Glutamine is an abundant and versatile amino acid in the body that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body. Under normal conditions, the body can produce enough glutamine on its own however, in times of stress, illness, or intense physical activity, the body may require additional glutamine from external sources like food or supplements.

Sleep

  • Passionflower has been shown to help increase total sleep time, provide more restful and uninterrupted sleep, and enhance the overall quality of sleep for people experiencing sleep difficulties (Harit et al. 2024).

  • Several clinical studies show that passionflower has anxiety-calming (anxiolytic) effects (Janda et al. 2020).

Fitness

  • Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body, especially in muscles. It’s essential for protein synthesis, which supports muscle repair and growth after exercise. During intense physical activity, glutamine levels can drop, which may slow muscle recovery. Supplementing with L-glutamine after intense, exhaustive exercise can help reduce damage to skeletal muscles, likely by aiding muscle repair and reducing inflammation (Lu et al. 2023).

  • After strenuous workouts, the immune system may become temporarily weakened, which can also impact muscle recovery. Glutamine supports immune health by providing fuel for immune cells, helping to reduce the risk of illness that could interfere with workout recovery and muscle maintenance (Lu et al. 2023).

Stress

  • Glutamine plays a role in balancing stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can spike after intense exercise and lead to muscle catabolism. By aiding in the regulation of cortisol levels, glutamine indirectly supports both muscle health and relaxation (Córdova-Martínez et al. 2021).

  • Passionflower has shown effectiveness in reducing stress, potentially making it beneficial for individuals dealing with both stress and sleep problems (Janda et al. 2020).
