About 48% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. You're probably one of them.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body — from ATP production to DNA synthesis to muscle contraction to nerve signaling. It's one of the most abundant minerals in your cells. And most people aren't getting enough of it.

The problem isn't just diet. Modern soil depletion means even whole foods contain less magnesium than they did 50 years ago. Stress depletes it. Alcohol depletes it. So does intense exercise. The symptoms of deficiency are diffuse enough that most people never connect them: poor sleep, muscle cramps, anxiety, low energy, constipation, headaches. These aren't separate problems — they're the same mineral doing too many jobs with not enough supply.

The form matters enormously. Magnesium oxide — the type in most cheap supplements — has roughly 4% bioavailability. Magnesium glycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine, which acts as a carrier into intestinal cells. It absorbs far more completely and is gentle enough that even people with sensitive guts tolerate it well. Glycine itself has calming properties, which is why magnesium glycinate is particularly effective taken before bed. Four capsules. 400mg elemental magnesium. That's it.

Key features

🌙

Deeper sleep

Magnesium regulates GABA receptors and melatonin synthesis. Clinically studied for reducing sleep onset time and increasing sleep quality.

💪

Muscle recovery

Supports post-workout muscle relaxation and reduces cramps by regulating calcium channel activity in muscle cells.

🧠

Calm nervous system

Glycinate form provides glycine's inherent calming properties alongside magnesium's role in downregulating cortisol response.

💊

Glycinate chelate

Superior gut absorption compared to oxide (4% bioavailability) or even citrate. No laxative effect at this dose.

Energy & ATP

Magnesium is a cofactor in ATP synthesis. Low magnesium = low cellular energy, regardless of how well you eat or sleep.

Questions about this product

Magnesium glycinate — elemental magnesium chelated to the amino acid glycine. This form has superior gut tolerance and absorption compared to magnesium oxide or citrate.
No. It supports a calmer nervous system state, which promotes sleep readiness at night, but it doesn't cause sedation or daytime drowsiness. Most people take it 30–60 minutes before bed.
Most people notice improved sleep quality and reduced muscle tension within 1–2 weeks of consistent use. Magnesium builds in your tissue gradually — the full effect is typically felt by week 3–4.
Yes. If you take D3+K2, taking them together is particularly synergistic — magnesium activates vitamin D, and D3 helps regulate magnesium absorption. You can take the magnesium at night and D3+K2 with breakfast.
Yes. Magnesium is an essential mineral and magnesium glycinate is gentle enough for daily, long-term use. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for supplemental magnesium is 350mg/day in adults — our dose of 400mg is a therapeutic level used in clinical studies, and the glycinate form minimizes any GI risk at this level.

I've tried six magnesium products. This is the one.

I've been chasing a solution to my sleep issues for three years. Melatonin made me groggy. Prescription sleep aids left me foggy. My doctor mentioned magnesium deficiency as a possible contributor. I tried three cheap oxide products with zero effect. Switched to this. Within two weeks, I was falling asleep faster and actually staying asleep past 4am. Now on my third bottle.

Leg cramps completely gone

I'm a runner and leg cramps were waking me up multiple times a week. My sports med doctor said to try magnesium glycinate specifically, not citrate or oxide. This is exactly what she described. Three weeks in, zero cramps. Sleep is also noticeably better. Easy reorder.

No GI issues at all

I tried magnesium citrate and it gave me stomach problems. Switched to this and zero issues. The capsules are easy to swallow and I take them about an hour before bed. My anxiety feels lower in the evenings and I'm sleeping through the night consistently now. Very happy with this product.
