Ingredient
Magnesium: The Master Mineral for Sleep, Muscle & Nerve Health
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions, yet nearly half of adults consume less than the RDA. Different chelated forms cross different membranes, which is why supplement selection matters more than dose alone.
Choosing the right form
Magnesium glycinate is the form we use: highly bioavailable, gentle on the gut, and best studied for sleep, calm, and muscle relaxation. Oxide and citrate are cheaper but poorly absorbed and can loosen stool at higher doses.
Sleep, stress, and muscle recovery
Magnesium is required to activate GABA and to relax skeletal muscle. Supplementation improves sleep efficiency by 8–14% in deficient adults and reduces subjective muscle cramps within days.
Cardiometabolic and bone health
Adequate magnesium is associated with better insulin sensitivity, healthy blood pressure, and stronger bone matrix. It works synergistically with vitamin D and vitamin K2.

Frequently asked questions
Which magnesium is best for sleep?
Magnesium glycinate is the gold standard for sleep — highly bioavailable, gentle on the gut, and calming without daytime sedation.
How much magnesium should I take?
The RDA is 310–420 mg elemental magnesium daily. Supplement doses typically deliver 200–400 mg on top of dietary intake.
Can I take magnesium every day?
Yes. Magnesium is safe for daily use; excess is excreted in urine. Avoid exceeding 500 mg from supplements without medical guidance.
