Transcript
Auto-generated from the reel audio.
I take magnesium threonate and L-theanine a half an hour before bed. People ask me, how much? So magnesium threonate is a magnesium compound and the only one that crosses the blood-brain barrier and helps your brain relax. So we need that. It's about 200 milligrams. So L-theanine is a non-protein amino acid that's used in the GABA system of the brain, which allows your brain to have more alpha or parasympathetic activation. 400 milligrams half an hour before bed. Both of those in a combination half an hour before bed, down for the count. What you don't want to use is melatonin.
Caption

L-theanine and magnesium threonate are often used together to support better sleep because they target different aspects of relaxation and brain function. L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea, promotes a calm mental state by increasing alpha brain waves and helping regulate neurotransmitters like GABA, serotonin, and dopamine, which can reduce stress and racing thoughts before bedtime. Magnesium threonate, a form of magnesium that can effectively cross the blood-brain barrier, supports cognitive relaxation by improving neuronal function and calming the nervous system, while also helping to regulate sleep-related hormones. 👇👇👇👇 If you want to optimize your sleep with powerful minerals like magnesium, glycine, L-theanine, and apigenin, click the link in our bio to learn more.
