Magnesium oxide has roughly 4% absorption and commonly causes GI discomfort — it's essentially a laxative. Magnesium glycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine, which means it absorbs significantly better and is gentle on the stomach. We chose glycinate specifically because we want you to actually feel the benefit.

We added B6 as P5P (the active, coenzyme form) because research suggests it supports how your body uses magnesium at a cellular level, and it plays a role in the neurotransmitter pathways involved in relaxation and sleep. P5P is the body-ready form — unlike the standard pyridoxine HCl found in most supplements, P5P doesn't require liver conversion.

Great question. The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg/day for adults — and most people get 200–250 mg from food. Our 240 mg brings most people to optimal levels without exceeding what's necessary. Higher doses from supplements can cause loose stools even with glycinate form. We chose 240 mg as the therapeutic sweet spot: enough to make a real difference, not so much that it causes side effects.

Magnesium glycinate supports your body's natural relaxation mechanisms — it doesn't sedate you like a sleep aid. Most people find taking it in the evening makes sleep more natural and restful, without grogginess the next morning. Taking it in the morning is also fine — it won't make you drowsy.

Most people notice improved sleep quality and muscle relaxation within 2–3 weeks of consistent daily use. Magnesium is a mineral your body rebuilds levels of over time — it's not an instant effect like a pain reliever. We recommend trying it for at least 30 days for a fair assessment.

If you take prescription medications — especially for blood pressure, diabetes, or heart conditions — please consult your doctor or pharmacist before adding any new supplement. Magnesium can interact with certain antibiotics and medications. We always recommend a healthcare professional review for anyone on regular medications. As with any supplement, consult your physician before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
