@drsermedmezher: POV: You Supplemented Yourself to Space. Sources- PMID 34858513 PMID 38817505 nikkid.unbury on TT Combining ashwagandha and magnesium glycinate creates a powerful, compounded relaxation effect because they target the body’s stress response from entirely different but complementary biological angles. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that primarily works by significantly lowering your baseline levels of cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone. It also acts as a natural mimic for GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that slows down brain activity and quiets the central nervous system, helping to shut off racing thoughts and mental anxiety. Magnesium glycinate then builds perfectly on this calmed baseline by delivering a two-fold physiological soothing effect. The magnesium directly binds to and activates those same GABA receptors while physically relaxing tense muscle tissue, and the glycine it is bound to acts as its own calming neurotransmitter to lower core body temperature and promote deep sleep. Together, ashwagandha lowers the mental stress threshold while magnesium glycinate actively forces the physical nervous system to power down, resulting in a profound, full-body state of relaxation. #ashwagandha #magnesium #supplements
