NIGHTLY · 30–60 MIN BEFORE BED

2–4 WEEKS
Sleep depth and morning clarity shift first. Stress resilience and muscle recovery follow as cellular magnesium stores rebuild.
STACK WITH
Magnesium activates vitamin D; D directs calcium; K2 routes it to bone. The full mineral conversation needs all three voices.
Q&A
No. That's magnesium oxide and citrate at high doses. Our blend uses chelated forms (malate, glycinate, L-threonate) that are absorbed into the bloodstream rather than pulling water into the gut.
Each form goes somewhere different. L-threonate (Magtein®) crosses the blood-brain barrier for cognition and sleep. Di-magnesium malate fuels muscle ATP. Lysinate glycinate calms the nervous system. Different vehicles, different destinations.
Sleep depth is usually the first thing — often within 1–2 weeks. Stress resilience, cognitive clarity, and muscle recovery follow over 4–6 weeks as cellular magnesium stores rebuild.
Night. The L-threonate component supports sleep architecture and the glycinate component is calming. Taking it during the day won't hurt, but you'll get the most return on the bedtime dose.
Magnesium can interfere with absorption of certain antibiotics (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones), bisphosphonates, and thyroid meds. Space them by at least 2 hours. Generally safe alongside SSRIs, blood pressure meds, and statins.
Higher doses on labels usually reflect cheap, poorly-absorbed forms (oxide is ~4% bioavailable). 200mg of chelated magnesium delivers more usable mineral than 500mg of oxide. The math favors quality.
