Magnesium Glycinate 200mg
Magnesium supplementation for sleep and muscle relaxation.. Magnesium glycinate is the gold standard for sleep because it's easy on the gut and highly absorbable. This dose is exactly half of the optimal clinical target. It's a safe and effective starting point, but you'll likely need two capsules to match what's used in major sleep studies (which usually aim for 400mg).
8.0/10
EXCELLENTMagnesium glycinate at 200mg hits the minimum effective dose with the best-absorbed form of magnesium (glycinate ~80% absorption vs oxide 4%). For sleep, muscle relaxation, and general magnesium repletion, this is a strong choice. Optimal is 400mg, so two caplets would be ideal. The glycinate form is gentle on the stomach and doesn't cause the laxative effect of cheaper forms. Well-formulated.
