Oasis Health Store

Supplying organic, natural food products, speciality dietary requirements, supplements and remedies, We always left with a new nugget of knowledge. Karen

From a young age, I can recall being brought into Health Food Shops with my mother. I used to love the smell and how different they were compared to ‘normal’ food shops. There was such a variety of products and you could actually ‘see’ the food - the grains, rice, nuts, seeds…I recall how the staff of the Health Food shops, always spoke with my Mother, they had time for customers, for sharing the

ir knowledge and suggesting new foods, supplements, tonics or essential oils. Fast forward to December ‘97 and I decided to take the plunge and go into business on my own. At this stage those ‘nuggets’ of knowledge had mounted up and the draw to the Health Food industry was still a strong one for me. I bought out an existing business which was more of a deli with a few herbal remedies available along with some specialised foods. And so began ‘Oasis’. I made some changes along the way and created a shop with a product range that made sense to me. I developed the shop offering and before long, Oasis was drawing customers from near and far as we gained a reputation for our specialised knowledge, product range and ability to source what the customer wanted and needed. We moved location a few times. Many of our local long standing customers will remember Oasis being close to the Bridge on lower Bridge Street. From there we moved up to Main Street for a few years and finally in 2004, we packed ours bags and moved for the last time to the beautifully restored Market Yard, in the heart of Carrick-on-Shannon. Oasis has become a shop that customers trust for quality, organic and natural products. We stock many leading brands, with a wide range of supplements, herbal remedies, organic and speciality foods, chemical free beauty products and household goods. We do our utmost to provide our customer with everything they require and we are constantly learning, keeping up to date with new products, remedies and health foods. If there’s something specific that our customer’s require, or a new product/ brand that they hear of or are recommended, we will do the research and our utmost to source it for them. I remember well the long conversations my Mother had when we were shopping all those years ago, and how much it meant to her as she made informed purchasing decisions for our family, now it’s my time to share my knowledge.

Let’s talk about Magnesium Bisglycinate (a.k.a. Magnesium Glycinate) — what it is, how it helps with sleep, and why it’s so popular. 🌙✨

Why “Glycinate”?

Magnesium comes in many forms, each with its own perks. In the bisglycinate form, each Mg²⁺ ion is chelated (bound) to two glycine molecules. This chelation helps it glide through the gut lining more easily, giving you more of the benefits without the GI discomfort sometimes seen with other forms, makes it more calming - and a favourite with a lot of people!

🌟 Key Benefits & How They Work

🌿 Superior Absorption
Glycine chelation helps magnesium cross the intestinal wall and enter your bloodstream more efficiently.

🌿 Gentle on Digestion
Very low risk of loose stools or bloating, unlike some other forms.

🌿 Muscle & Nerve Support
Magnesium eases muscle cramps and restless legs, while glycine promotes nerve-calming.

🌿 Sleep & Mood
Glycine can enhance GABA signaling, helping you unwind. Together, they support faster sleep onset, deeper rest, and relief from mild anxiety.

🌻 Who Should Try It?
• Anyone with cramps, restless legs, or muscle tension
• Those struggling with poor sleep quality or mild anxiety
• People who find other magnesiums too harsh on the stomach

💚 Forms + Dosage
Available in capsules and tablets — with a daily dose starting at 200 mg elemental magnesium (with food) and adjusting as needed.

🌿 At Oasis Health Store, we carry several trusted brands of Magnesium Bisglycinate —perfect for supporting muscles, nerves, and sleep. Pop in to chat with our friendly team and find the gentle magnesium that’s right for you!

L-theanine, a unique amino acid found in green tea, is gaining attention for its potential benefits in:
➰reducing anxiety,
➰improving sleep,
➰enhancing focus.

Let's have a look at what does science have to say about it!🌿🍵🧘‍♂️

A recent systematic review analyzed 11 studies from countries including Israel, Iran, the USA, Japan, Australia, and Italy, focusing on mental health issues such as ADHD, OCD, major depressive disorder, sleep disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, schizophrenia and others.

L-theanine was used both on its own and as an aid to a primary medication.

Key Findings:

🌿Anxiety Reduction: L-theanine supplementation significantly reduced anxiety symptoms, particularly in individuals with schizophrenia and generalized anxiety disorder.

🌿Improved Sleep: Notable improvements in sleep quality were observed, especially among children with ADHD.

🌿Enhanced Focus: When combined with caffeine, L-theanine improved attention and reaction times without the jitteriness often associated with caffeine alone.

🌿Other Benefits: Some studies indicated potential mood enhancement and cognitive performance improvements, though results varied.

🤍Safety Profile: L-theanine was well-tolerated across studies, with no significant adverse effects reported.

While these findings are promising, more research is needed to fully understand the extent of L-theanine's benefits - hope we'll see more of them soon!

When we’re stressed, our bodies release cortisol, the primary stress hormone. While short-term spikes are normal, chronic stress can leave us feeling drained, anxious, and unable to sleep.

Thankfully, certain nutrients and herbs can help break that cycle—rebalancing cortisol, calming the nervous system, and building resilience. 💚

Best Magnesium for Sleep? Here’s What You Need to Know!

Magnesium is essential for relaxation, calming the nervous system, and supporting melatonin production. If you’re struggling to fall or stay asleep, you might be low in this vital mineral—and supplementing could make a difference!

But not all magnesium supplements are the same. Some are better absorbed and have a stronger calming effect. You’ve probably heard that Magnesium Glycinate is one of the best for sleep—let’s explore why!

✨ Why Magnesium Glycinate?

Among all forms of magnesium, this one stands out for sleep because:

✅ It’s highly absorbable, meaning your body can use it effectively.
✅ It’s bound to glycine—an amino acid that promotes relaxation and helps calm the brain.
✅ It supports serotonin production, which plays a role in regulating sleep cycles.
✅ It’s gentle on digestion, unlike some other forms of magnesium.

Adding magnesium glycinate to your evening routine may help you unwind, fall asleep faster, and wake up feeling refreshed—without drowsiness or a heavy head in the morning. 🌿💤

💚 We stock this helpful form of magnesium in a few trusted brands here at Oasis Health Store! Come in and choose the one that will work best for you. Our team is happy to help!
