Sleep

This is the category for people whose problem is not falling asleep but staying settled once they are there. The magnesium gummies here use magnesium taurate - magnesium bound to the amino acid taurine - taken as part of a wind-down routine rather than as a sedative.

A supplement is a small part of a sleep routine. Consistent timing, dim light in the last hour, a cool room and a fixed wake time do more than any capsule. The formula here is designed to sit alongside those habits, not replace them.

Frequently asked questions

When should I take magnesium for sleep?Show answerHide answer

Most people take it 30 to 60 minutes before bed, as part of the wind-down rather than at lights-out. The timing matters less than repeating it at the same point every evening - the routine itself becomes the cue.

How long does magnesium take to work for sleep?Show answerHide answer

If your intake has been low, people commonly report changes within one to two weeks of daily use, though the research on magnesium and sleep is mixed and individual results vary widely. Give it three weeks of consistent use before judging it.

Will magnesium make me groggy in the morning?Show answerHide answer

Magnesium taurate is calming rather than sedating, and it is not a sleep aid in the pharmaceutical sense. Most people do not report morning grogginess. If you do, move the serving earlier in the evening.

Can I take it every night?Show answerHide answer

Yes, at the labelled serving size. Magnesium is an essential mineral that the body uses daily rather than something you cycle. Stay at the stated serving - more does not mean better and mostly means looser stools.

What should I do besides taking a supplement?Show answerHide answer

The unglamorous things work best: morning daylight, a consistent wake time, no caffeine after midday, dim light and no screens in the last hour, and a cool dark room. If sleep problems persist for more than a few weeks, speak to a clinician.
