THE ABSORPTION PROBLEM

Most magnesium never reaches you.

Nearly half of adults don't get enough magnesium, so they supplement. But the form on the label, not the milligrams, decides how much the body can use. With oxide, that's around 8%.

01
Bioavailability
Most magnesium never reaches your cells. The form on the label decides how much your body can actually take in, and the milligrams on the front say nothing about it.
02
The oxide trap
Magnesium oxide is the most common form on shelves because it is the cheapest to produce. In a simulated digestion model it absorbed at 8%. The rest stays in the intestine, draws water in, and leaves.
03
Unverified "chelate"
Citrate absorbs better but is harder on the gut. And most chelated glycinate is never verified — often cut with non-chelated magnesium, the bond left incomplete.

THE SCIENCE OF ABSORPTION

Why chelation changes everything.

Chelation bonds magnesium to glycine, so it bypasses the crowded mineral pathways in your gut and travels the route your body uses for protein. More reaches your cells, without the stomach upset of non-chelated forms.

THE SCIENCE, PLAINLY

This formula is built for you if —

You want to know why a form works, not just that a label says so.
You've learned that milligrams on the front mean little without absorption behind them.
You care that "chelated" is actually verified — a complete bond, not a marketing word.
You'd rather read the certificate of analysis than take the claim on trust.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY INSIDE, AND WHAT IT'S FOR

Active ingredient support profile

The matrix shows where this formula pulls its weight. The higher the score, the more directly two ingredients — chelated magnesium bisglycinate and zinc — map onto that need. No filler axes, no borrowed benefits. Just what magnesium and zinc are genuinely built to support.

CHOOSE YOUR GOAL:

Your nightly sleep protocol.

Take 2 capsules 30–60 minutes before bed, every night. Consistency matters more than taking a higher dose.

NIGHTS 1–3

Build a consistent magnesium level.

WEEK 1

Notice how easily you wind down and how often you wake.

WEEKS 2+

Track sleep consistency, morning recovery and overall restfulness.

Dr. Helena Marsh, MRCP— Sleep & Nutrition Consultant

The form matters more than the dose — bisglycinate is the one I recommend for sleep.

Your evening wind-down protocol.

Take 2 capsules in the early evening, two to three hours before bed. For evenings that run hot when sleep itself is fine.

NIGHTS 1–3

Start with one capsule and let the body adjust.

WEEK 1

Notice when the evening starts to settle — and how long it holds.

WEEKS 2+

Track how often the evening unwinds on its own, without effort.

Dr. Elena Voss— Clinical Psychologist, CBT-I Certified

'I can't switch off' and 'I can't fall asleep' are two different problems. The first one starts hours before bed — and that's where you have to work on it.

Your recovery protocol.

Take 3 capsules in the evening on training days, 2 on rest days. Sweat clears magnesium faster than most people expect.

NIGHTS 1–3

Start with half a serving after training and build from there.

WEEK 1

Notice night cramps, morning stiffness, and how heavy the second session feels.

WEEKS 2+

Track recovery between sessions and how your legs feel at night.

Marcus Hale, RD, CSSD— Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics

You lose magnesium in sweat every session. And no — it's not about cramps. It's about what your muscles and nervous system run on.

Your clarity protocol.

Take 2–3 capsules in the evening. Clarity starts the night before — this is the sleep dose doing its second job.

NIGHTS 1–3

Build a consistent level, starting from half.

WEEK 1

Notice the mornings first: how quickly the day comes into focus.

WEEKS 2+

Track how steady the afternoon holds, and how the evening ends.

Dr. Anna Reinholt— Neurologist, Sleep Researcher

Clarity built the night before morning. The brain consolidates, clears, and resets during deep sleep — cut that short, and no amount of coffee brings it back.

Your baseline protocol.

Take 2 capsules in the evening, daily — the maintenance rhythm for keeping levels where they should be.

NIGHTS 1–3

Start with one capsule and settle into the routine.

WEEK 1

Move to the full two. Same time, most nights.

WEEKS 2+

The ritual carries itself. Check in monthly, not nightly.

Sofia Lindqvist, RD— Registered Dietitian, Population Nutrition

Roughly half of adults don't get enough magnesium from food — because modern diets and soils have changed. And maintaining your level is far easier than rebuilding it.

Honestly, this is one of my favorites 💊
I’ve been taking magnesium for a long time, but the bisglycinate form works much better for me. It’s gentle on my stomach and noticeably helps with recovery.
I take it after workouts and in the evening, and I sleep much more peacefully with it.
