Synergy
What is happening. Both promote relaxation and sleep through GABAergic and glutamate-modulating pathways.
Mechanism. Apigenin positively modulates GABA-A receptors. Magnesium blocks excitatory NMDA glutamate receptors. Glycine from magnesium citrate adds inhibitory neurotransmission.
Recommendation. Combine for a gentle, non-habit-forming sleep support stack.
