Simple Sleep Support contains a highly bioavailable form of magnesium - di-magnesium malate, which is magnesium bound to malic acid. So not only will you get deep, quality sleep, but energy the next day!! Simple Sleep Support may be especially beneficial for individuals who experience occasional low energy, fatigue, and poor immune health.
​
Simple Sleep Support may help to boost:
• Immune function: In studies, both cortisol and adrenaline production were associated with magnesium deficiency; these hormones lead to anxiety and additional pressure on the body, which negatively impact the immune system’s ability to function.
​
Another study discusses the possibility of decreased Vitamin C absorption in the body when magnesium levels are low.
There is also evidence that exercise can deplete magnesium stores in the body. When this occurs, energy metabolism is impaired, muscle function decreases, oxygen uptake is diminished, and electrolyte balance is affected. All of these conditions compromise the immune system.
​
By adding magnesium to your diet or supplement regimen, you can help boost your immune response and aid the proper function of your bodily systems.
​
• Sleep and its effect on immune health: Studies reveal that magnesium promotes restful sleep because it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing you to feel relaxed and calm.
Numerous studies have reported the benefits of a good night’s sleep, and now researchers from Germany have found that sound sleep improves immune cells known as T cells. The findings indicate that sleep has the potential to improve T cell functioning. For people who get poor sleep, stress hormones may inhibit the ability of T cells to function as effectively.
• Cardiovascular function: Owing to its role in muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve conduction, magnesium may help support healthy blood pressure levels and cardiovascular function.
​
• Healthy carbohydrate tolerance: Magnesium malate is indispensable for converting carbohydrate (glucose) to energy, and is also required for proper functioning of the insulin receptor. Individuals who experience occasional issues related to blood glucose levels and carbohydrate tolerance may benefit from supplemental magnesium malate.
​
• Bone health: Sixty percent of the magnesium in the human body is found in the skeleton. Magnesium is an essential element of the physical structure of bone tissue. Supplementing with calcium alone often does not have the desired effect of strengthening bones; maintenance of healthy bones requires adequate magnesium, along with protein and other mineral cofactors.
The Role of Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral that serves as an enzyme cofactor for over three hundred biochemical reactions in the body. The need for magnesium throughout the body is reflected in the fact that the adult human body contains approximately 25 grams of magnesium, divided among the skeleton, muscle tissue, blood, and other areas. Magnesium is a required cofactor for enzymes that harness energy from carbohydrates.
The Role of Malic Acid
Malic acid is a compound found naturally in apples and other fruits and vegetables and is included because of its role in the Krebs cycle, the energy-producing system in the body. Malic acid is responsible for the tart flavor of rhubarb and green apples. Malic acid is an intermediary of the complex process that generates energy from all fuel sources, including carbohydrates, fats, and ketones.
