Supplementation with Magnesium Threonate, Theanine, Chamomile

extract, Valerian root, and Taurine promotes relaxation and enhances

GABA production. GABA supplementation has been widely used. However,
it does not affect GABA levels in the brain, as the molecule of GABA is

unable to cross a healthy blood-brain barrier. (19) Having optimal levels of
magnesium is crucial for GABA production.

Optimize Magnesium levels

12 Magnesium plays an important role in muscle relaxation and calming the

nervous system. It has been labeled as“ the most powerful relaxation
mineral available” by experts such as Dr. Mark Hyman. (20- 23) People

who are magnesium deficient often experience migraines, muscle
twitching, high blood pressure, interrupted sleep, and insomnia. In many

clinical trials, most of those symptoms were successfully treated with
magnesium supplementation. For optimal magnesium levels, we suggest

to take between 1,200 - 2,400mg of elemental magnesium for females
and 2,400 - 4,000mg for males daily. Magnesium Glycinate from NutriDyn

or Synermag from ATP are the best options for lunch and dinner intake.
Take Magtein from NutriDyn or Mind Mag from ATP before bed to relax

your CNS. Applying topical magnesium directly on your skin and taking

baths with Epsom salt are other great ways to provide muscle relaxation
and increase levels of this crucial mineral.
