Magnesium N-Acetyl Taurinate (TauroMAG) has become quite popular recently because anecdotally it produces the most palpable relaxing effects of all of the magnesium forms that are out there. This is likely due to the Taurine portion of TauroMAG, which we already know can produce significant relaxing effects. Magnesium on its own also produces significant relaxing effects for most people, however, there seems to be something unique going on with TauroMAG because it produces very robust relaxing effects, more so than either taurine or magnesium in isolation. This could have something to do with the taurine portion of TauroMAG being acetylated. As we know from experience with other acetylated amino acids, such as N-acetyl Cysteine and N-acetyl L-tyrosine, acetylation usually boosts the effects of the parent amino acid quite a bit!
Due to the fact that TauroMAG is so acutely relaxing, it is a particularly popular form of magnesium for helping to promote sleep quality. More specifically, anecdotal reports suggest that TauroMAG is very good at enhancing deep sleep. Furthermore, if you are in need of robust daytime relaxing effects, then magnesium acetyl taurate is also a great option!
TauroMAG is a unique form of magnesium that chelates magnesium with N-Acetyltaurine. This chelation process enhances the bioavailability of magnesium. That being said, TauroMAG is not the best overall source of elemental magnesium, because the amount of elemental magnesium you get per dose of TauroMAG is relatively low (52 mg elemental magnesium). The main attractor here is primarily the unique acute effects of TauroMAG which makes it a great specialized tool, or as a modifier for a more neutral magnesium like Micromag which is great at delivering high amounts of elemental magnesium.
About 30-45 minutes after dosing TauroMAG, a deep sense of relaxation will start to wash over you. The effects start in the body, slowly relaxing all of our muscles, and then progresses to the mind, where it induces a deep state of relaxation. At a single capsule dose, this is great for taking the edge off during the day or helping to gently lull you into a deep sleep at night. At a double capsule dose, taken right before bedtime, you’ll slowly start sinking deeper and deeper into your mattress, after which a period of deep restful sleep often occurs.
Relaxation Stack: TauroMAG + Baikal Skullcap
In order to dial up the relaxing effects of TauroMAG even more, we find that it stacks particularly well with our unique Baikal Skullcap formulation!
Sleep Quality Stack: TauroMAG + Sleep Support
TauroMAG appears to quite reliably enhance deep sleep, and due to this we find that it makes for a great stack with our Sleep Support. Sleep Support has been designed to optimize sleep stages, but at the time we did not have access to TauroMAG. If we were to reformulate sleep support today, it would probably contain TauroMAG due to its effects on deep sleep!
Magnesium Status Stack: TauroMAG + Micromag
TauroMAG produces fantastic acute effects, however, it is not the best overall source for elemental magnesium. Due to this, we like combining TauroMAG with a neutral magnesium supplement that is very good at delivering high amounts of elemental magnesium. MicroMAG does exactly that, and due to this, we find that it stacks exceedingly well with TauroMAG!
Premenstrual Comfort Stack: TauroMAG + Relievex
The makers of TauroMAG have explored TauroMAG in the context of menstrual cycles, and they found that TauroMAG could quite reliably help ease the emotional discomfort of the luteal phase, while also helping to mitigate some of the physical discomfort during the follicular phase.
As a dietary supplement, take 800mg (1 scoop), 1-2 times daily.
