Magnesium is essential for overall health, and both Magnesium bisglycinate and Magnesium oxide, found in our Smidge® Evening Magnesium, may offer benefits for vision health.
Magnesium bisglycinate is highly absorbable and promotes better blood flow to the eyes by relaxing blood vessels. This helps ensure that the eyes receive the oxygen and nutrients they need for healthy vision. Additionally, it reduces eye strain by relaxing muscles around the eyes, which may help relieve symptoms like headaches and fatigue from screen time. Magnesium bisglycinate also provides antioxidant protection, helping prevent age-related eye conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts.
Magnesium oxide can help regulate nerve function, particularly in the optic nerve, ensuring that visual signals are properly transmitted from the eyes to the brain. It may also help reduce intraocular pressure, lowering the risk of glaucoma, and supports the overall health of blood vessels in the eyes.
