Unwind faster. Sleep better. Wake up ready.

About two in three US adults don't get enough magnesium from food, and low magnesium is linked to feeling more stressed and on edge. Magnesium Glycinate gives you 275 mg of magnesium per serving as magnesium glycinate: magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. It's the easiest evening habit you'll keep.

Why you'll love it

• Supports a calm, relaxed mind. Magnesium plays a role in normal nervous system function. (study)
• Supports falling asleep faster. In older adults, magnesium has been linked to dozing off about 17 minutes sooner. (study)
• Supports healthy muscles and energy. Magnesium helps your muscles work and your cells make energy. (NIH ODS)
• Supports normal heart and muscle function. Magnesium is needed for normal muscle and heart function. (NIH ODS)
• Glycinate, not oxide. Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Forms differ: NIH notes that aspartate, citrate, lactate and chloride are absorbed more completely than oxide and sulfate. (NIH ODS)

The research

• About two in three US adults get less than the recommended amount of magnesium from food. (study 1, NIH ODS)
• In older adults, magnesium has been linked to falling asleep about 17 minutes faster. (study 1, study 2)
• Small studies have found magnesium in the aspartate, citrate, lactate and chloride forms is absorbed more completely than magnesium oxide and magnesium sulfate. Glycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. (NIH ODS, study)

It's magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, and it's the form used in a 2025 randomized sleep trial (study). Each 3-capsule serving lists 275 mg of elemental magnesium, so it's easy to stay within the 350 mg daily upper limit for supplemental magnesium. (NIH ODS)

When is the best time to take it?
In the evening, as part of your wind-down routine.
