Why Belly Fat Is Hard to Lose? Look at Cortisol

You exercise and diet, but belly fat still won’t budge? The culprit may not be calories, but cortisol – the hormone released when your body is under prolonged stress. When cortisol is high, the body tends to:

• Increase cravings (especially carbs and sugar)
• Store more fat, especially around the belly
• Reduce fat-burning ability even with calorie restriction

Research from the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism shows that prolonged high cortisol is directly linked to visceral fat and insulin resistance.

Magnesium Glycinate – The Natural “Brake” on Cortisol

Magnesium is an essential mineral that regulates the HPA axis – the body’s stress control center. In the form of Magnesium Glycinate (magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine), the benefits are even stronger thanks to:

• High bioavailability, easily absorbed
• Gentle on digestion
• Dual effect: magnesium calms the nervous system, while glycine promotes deep relaxation and better sleep【1】【2】

The result? Reduced stress response, lower cortisol → the body stops storing belly fat and begins unlocking stored fat reserves.

Science-Backed Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate

1. Stress reduction & belly fat control
   • Stabilizes the nervous system, lowers cortisol
   • Breaks the cycle: stress → high cortisol → fat storage
   • Helps the body shift into fat-burning mode
2. Better sleep
   • Boosts GABA activity – a calming neurotransmitter
   • Supports natural melatonin production
   • Relieves muscle tension & restless legs at night【3】
3. Stronger bones & muscles
   • Helps calcium bind into bone structure, increasing density【4】
   • Prevents cramps, supports proper muscle contraction/relaxation
4. Balanced blood sugar & energy
   • Improves insulin sensitivity, supports blood sugar control【5】
   • Acts as a cofactor in ATP production – the body’s energy currency
5. Improved mood
   • Balances neurotransmitters
   • Helps reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms【6】
