What it does

Magnesium is a quiet workhorse involved in over 300 reactions: making energy, relaxing muscles, steadying nerves, and helping you wind down at night. Modern diets and stress both deplete it, so a lot of people run low without realizing it. We use the glycinate form because it absorbs well and is gentle on the stomach, unlike cheaper magnesium that can loosen the bowels.

The science

Magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions including ATP production, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and deep sleep regulation.

Most relevant for

Muscle cramps, stress, poor sleep, and steady daytime energy.
