A straightforward magnesium option for evening use. “Glycinate” is magnesium bound to glycine, a form many people find gentler on the stomach. Not a sedative—best paired with steady routines (dim light, wind-down). Educational only; not medical advice.

Features:

• ~200 mg elemental Mg per serving (check label for exact amount)

• Chelated to glycine for GI tolerance

• Dosing flexibility: split capsules or take with food if needed

• Third-party testing claimed by brand (verify)

• Vegan / allergen-free where stated (verify)

• Clear supplement facts and lot/batch info

Pros:

• Non-sedating; can reduce perceived evening tension

• Often gentler on GI vs some other forms

• Easy to stack with routine changes (light, noise, temperature)

• Widely available; usually reasonable cost per serving

Cons:

• Not a “knockout” aid; effects (if any) are subtle

• Possible GI upset at higher amounts

• Label math can confuse (elemental vs total compound)

• Can interact with certain meds (timing matters)

Notes & Caveats:

• Educational, not medical advice.

• Interactions: separate from some antibiotics and bisphosphonates by several hours; ask a clinician if you have kidney disease or take other interacting meds.

• Not intended to treat insomnia or medical conditions.

• Verify third-party testing and allergen statements on the specific product.

How to Use:

• Start with 100 mg elemental Mg 1–2 hours before bed for 3–7 nights; increase gradually if well tolerated.

• Take with or without food based on comfort.

• Avoid within 2–4 hours of interacting medications.

• Pair with dim evening light and a short wind-down.
