Tired all day, but can’t switch off at night?
Most people I treat need magnesium supplementation, and my first choice is usually magnesium glycinate due to its excellent absorption and calming effect on the nervous system.
But when someone is feeling “wired but tired”, exhausted yet unable to switch off, with racing thoughts, stress, tension or disrupted sleep, I often choose a magnesium formula that also contains taurine.
Taurine is an amino acid that helps support a healthy stress response, promotes nervous system calm, and may help improve sleep quality. Combined with magnesium, it can provide an extra layer of support for those who struggle to truly relax and unwind.
Of course, supplements are only one piece of the puzzle, and addressing the underlying drivers of stress and poor sleep is always equally important.
