Sleep + Recovery + Calm
The most bioavailable form of magnesium — chelated to glycine for deep sleep, muscle recovery, and a calm nervous system without the laxative effect.
Why It Works
Magnesium activates GABA receptors — the same neurotransmitter pathway responsible for quieting the nervous system before sleep. Glycinate is uniquely suited for evening use because glycine itself has calming, sleep-promoting properties. Together, they don't sedate you — they let your body transition into sleep the way it's supposed to.
Magnesium is essential for both muscle contraction and relaxation. When levels are low, you cramp, tighten up, and recover slower between sessions. Most athletes and active individuals are subclinically deficient — not enough to trigger a diagnosis, but enough to impair recovery and performance consistently.
Stress depletes magnesium. Low magnesium amplifies the stress response. This creates a vicious cycle where cortisol continually strips your stores and your body becomes less resilient over time. Replenishing magnesium is one of the fastest, most evidence-based ways to lower baseline cortisol and restore nervous system balance.
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic processes — from ATP energy production to DNA synthesis and protein folding. It supports nerve signal transmission, blood pressure regulation, and glucose metabolism. It's not a "nice to have" — it's foundational to how your body functions at the cellular level.
Formula
Most magnesium supplements hide behind proprietary blends and cheap fillers. Ours is one ingredient in a vegetable capsule.
Every production run is independently tested by an accredited laboratory. The Certificate of Analysis verifies potency (you're getting 400mg, not 280mg of some oxide blend) and screens for heavy metals, microbials, and contaminants. Available on request. No secrets.
Protocol
Dose: 2 capsules (400mg elemental magnesium)
Timing: 30–60 minutes before bed with water
Research
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, yet an estimated 50–80% of the population is deficient. Modern agriculture has depleted soil magnesium levels by over 50% in the last century, meaning even a "good diet" rarely provides adequate amounts. The RDA (320–420mg) is considered a minimum to prevent deficiency symptoms, not an optimal intake for performance or sleep quality.
The mechanism behind magnesium's sleep benefits centres on GABA — the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. Magnesium binds to GABA-A receptors, enhancing their activity and promoting the transition from wakefulness to sleep. Simultaneously, magnesium helps regulate the HPA axis (your stress response system), reducing cortisol output and preventing the hyperarousal that keeps people wired at night. Studies show that magnesium supplementation increases slow-wave sleep duration and reduces nighttime cortisol.
Beyond sleep, magnesium is a required cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions. It's essential for ATP production (the energy currency of every cell), protein synthesis, nerve conduction, and muscle function. Chronic depletion doesn't just affect sleep — it impairs everything from workout recovery to insulin sensitivity to cardiovascular function. The glycinate form offers superior absorption compared to oxide (4% bioavailability) or citrate, and the glycine component adds its own benefits: lowering core body temperature before sleep and serving as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in its own right.
Quality
Our magnesium is chelated — meaning each magnesium ion is bonded to two glycine molecules. This chelation protects the mineral through the digestive tract and dramatically improves absorption compared to inorganic forms like oxide or carbonate.
Magnesium oxide has roughly 4% bioavailability — you absorb almost nothing. Citrate is better but causes GI distress at higher doses. Glycinate is the gold standard for supplemental magnesium: high absorption, no laxative effect, and the added calming benefits of glycine.

Reviews
Switched from a citrate product and the difference is night and day. No more stomach issues, and I'm falling asleep within 20 minutes instead of lying there for an hour. Three weeks in, my HRV has gone up by 12 points on my Whoop. Genuinely didn't expect this much of a difference from a form change.
I train 5x a week and my legs used to cramp badly at night, especially after heavy squats. That's completely gone now. Recovery between sessions feels noticeably faster too. Clean product, no fillers — exactly what I was looking for.
The vivid dreams in the first week were wild — but my sleep tracker confirmed I was getting significantly more deep sleep. By week two, I woke up feeling genuinely rested for the first time in months. Taking it with L-Theanine before bed is the best stack I've tried.
I was taking a supermarket magnesium oxide for months and feeling nothing. Did some research, found out oxide is basically useless, and switched to this. Within a week I could feel the difference in my sleep quality and overall calmness. Never going back to oxide.
Clean label, no BS ingredients, does what it says. I stack it with the creatine and take both daily. My recovery has been the best it's been in years. Simple product done right — that's all I want from a supplement company.
