Many Israelis are experiencing middle-of-the-night awakenings, potentially linked to magnesium deficiency and heightened stress responses. A new product from Verity offers magnesium bisglycinate gummies to help promote relaxation and improve sleep continuity. The gummies are designed for easy absorption and are a sugar-free, vegan option. While not a sleep aid, consistent use may help regulate sleep patterns, though medical consultation is advised for persistent sleep issues or specific health conditions.

  • Middle-of-the-night awakenings in Israelis may be linked to magnesium deficiency and stress.
  • Magnesium is crucial for nerve function and relaxation, aiding the neurotransmitter GABA.
  • Western diets often lack sufficient magnesium, exacerbated by stress and certain consumables.
  • Verity offers 400mg magnesium bisglycinate gummies designed for better absorption and gentle effects.
  • The gummies are sugar-free, vegan, and intended for gradual improvement with consistent use.
  • Supplements are not a substitute for sleep hygiene or treatment for diagnosed sleep disorders.

Many Israelis experience waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts, a problem that may stem from magnesium deficiency. While falling asleep might be easy, staying asleep can be challenging, often due to heightened stress responses. Cortisol levels naturally rise before morning, but in individuals under chronic stress, this system can become oversensitive, leading to premature awakenings. Magnesium, a mineral crucial for nerve function and relaxation, plays a role in regulating the neurotransmitter GABA, which is associated with calmness. Western diets, often high in processed foods and low in leafy greens, nuts, and legumes, may not provide sufficient magnesium. Factors like coffee, alcohol, and ongoing stress can further deplete magnesium levels. Verity has developed magnesium bisglycinate gummies, containing 400mg of magnesium per serving, to address this issue. This form of magnesium is chosen for its high absorbability and gentle effect on the stomach, unlike cheaper magnesium oxide. The sugar-free, vegan gummies are sweetened with stevia and use plant-based pectin. The recommended routine is two gummies one to two hours before bed. Verity emphasizes that these gummies are not sleep pills and do not cause grogginess, with effects building gradually over weeks of consistent use. The product is lab-tested and manufactured under GMP standards, with a satisfaction guarantee. However, the company stresses that supplements are not a substitute for good sleep hygiene and should not be used to treat sleep disorders, which may require medical attention for conditions like sleep apnea, depression, or anxiety. Individuals with kidney disease, those who are pregnant or nursing, or taking medications should consult a doctor before use.
