Pillar Performance Triple Magnesium – Zitrone Limette

Did you know that there are 11 different forms of Magnesium?

Each with unique, but differing, benefits.

Most athletes have supplemented with ‘Magnesium’ at some point in time often with minimal results when trying to solve for recovery, cramping, nervous system function, sleep etc. The common problem is simple.

They supplement with the wrong form of magnesium for what they are trying to achieve.

PILLAR’s Triple Magnesium was purposefully developed to support deep sleep and therefore promote greater muscular recovery.

Using leading HRV research by Dr Dan Plews, PILLAR Triple Magnesium focuses on delivering the most potent form of magnesium that can benefit sleep and recovery - magnesium glycinate.

Magnesium glycinate is bound to glycine which helps improve absorption, calms the nervous system and helps lower body temperature.

But why are these important for sleep?

By binding magnesium to glycine, it creates a more stable form of magnesium. This means the magnesium can more easily pass through the intestinal wall, which is the part of the digestive system where nutrients are absorbed.

The calmer we are when initiating sleep, we more effectively pass through the different stages of sleep. So if deep, REM and light sleep quality improves, so does physical recovery!

Glycine helps regulate body temperature (essential for good quality sleep). It does this by promoting the widening of blood vessels, known as vasodilation. This helps cool down and lower the overall core body temperature. Vasodilation signals to the brain that it's time for sleep. And helps promote deep and restorative sleep.

To fully unlock the benefits of magnesium glycinate for sleep, Dr Plews recommends consuming one serving (1 x 5g scoop or two tablets) with 250ml liquid, 30-60 mins prior to sleep.

Note: This is not a medicated sleeping tablet and is not to be used as medicine.

Magnesium is depleted through sweat, urination, and lipolysis; all incurring at greater levels when undertaking exercise.

Therefore, those participating in sport need to be aware that they could deplete magnesium at far greater rates than sedentary people on average.
