Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium & Hormonal Support

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body — many of which are directly tied to hormonal health, cycle regulation and emotional wellbeing. For women, adequate magnesium levels can make a meaningful difference across multiple areas of daily life:

• Hormonal Balance & PMS Relief: Magnesium plays a critical role in regulating cortisol — the body’s primary stress hormone. When cortisol is chronically elevated, it disrupts the delicate balance of oestrogen and progesterone, worsening PMS symptoms, mood swings and cycle irregularity. Magnesium helps bring cortisol back into balance, supporting a smoother, more predictable cycle and reducing symptoms such as bloating, breast tenderness and irritability.
  
  
• Sleep Quality & Nervous System Support: Magnesium supports the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter responsible for calming the nervous system and preparing the body for deep, restorative sleep. Many women experiencing hormonal imbalance, anxiety or perimenopause report disrupted sleep as a persistent issue. Magnesium Glycinate is widely recognised for improving both sleep onset and sleep quality.
  
  
• Stress & Anxiety Relief: Often referred to as nature’s relaxant, magnesium helps regulate the nervous system’s response to stress. It reduces both physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety, providing a steady buffer against overwhelm, tension and emotional reactivity.
  
  
• Muscle Recovery & Physical Tension: Magnesium supports healthy muscle contraction and relaxation. Low levels are often linked to cramps, tension headaches and restlessness — particularly during the luteal phase. It supports overnight recovery and helps the body repair while you sleep.
  
  
• PCOS & Insulin Sensitivity: Women with PCOS are more likely to have low magnesium levels. Supplementation may support improved insulin sensitivity and help reduce inflammation, both of which play a key role in managing PCOS symptoms.
  
  
• Bone Health: Magnesium works alongside calcium and vitamin D to support healthy bone density. This becomes increasingly important approaching perimenopause, where bone loss risk increases. Adequate magnesium ensures proper calcium absorption and utilisation.
  
  
• Energy & Fatigue Reduction: Magnesium is essential for ATP production — the body’s primary energy source. Low levels are associated with fatigue, brain fog and low motivation. Supporting magnesium levels helps maintain steady, sustained energy throughout the day.
