“I'm finally waking up feeling rested.”

I started taking this at night because I was tired of waking up feeling like I barely slept. After taking it consistently, I've noticed I'm sleeping more soundly and waking up feeling much more rested. It's officially part of my bedtime routine.

“Helps me actually shut down at night.”

My problem wasn't being tired. It was getting my body and brain to finally relax at the end of the day. I take my magnesium in the evening and I've noticed it's much easier for me to settle down and get ready for sleep.

“My muscles don't feel as tight at night.”

I originally bought this for sleep but I've been pleasantly surprised by how much better my body feels after active days. I don't feel nearly as tense when I get into bed and I've been sleeping better too.

“Much easier on my stomach than other magnesium.”

I've tried other forms of magnesium before and didn't love what they did to my stomach. This has been completely different for me. Easy to take, no issues, and I feel noticeably more relaxed in the evenings.

“I appreciate that they actually explain the dosage.”

I've seen so many magnesium bottles advertising huge numbers that don't tell you how much actual magnesium you're getting. I like that RealGood clearly shows the 500 mg glycinate complex and 100 mg elemental magnesium. No guessing about what's in my serving.

“Fast shipping and already part of my nightly routine.”

My order arrived in three days and everything was sealed and packaged perfectly. I've been taking three capsules in the evening and really like how relaxed I feel before bed. Very happy with my first RealGood Essentials order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these lab tested?

What does Magnesium Glycinate help with?

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body. Magnesium glycinate is commonly taken to support relaxation, restful sleep, normal muscle function, nervous-system health, and everyday magnesium intake.

Is this 500 mg of elemental magnesium?

No, and this distinction matters. Each 3-capsule serving contains 500 mg of Magnesium Glycinate Complex, which provides 100 mg of elemental magnesium, or 24% of the Daily Value. We clearly disclose both amounts so you know exactly what you're getting.

Why choose magnesium glycinate?

Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with the amino acid glycine. It's commonly chosen because it's generally well tolerated and highly bioavailable, making it especially popular for people looking for daily magnesium, relaxation, and nighttime support.

When is the best time to take it?

Take 3 capsules daily with water, or as directed by your healthcare professional. If you're primarily taking magnesium for relaxation and sleep support, many people prefer taking their serving in the evening as part of their bedtime routine.

Will Magnesium Glycinate make me sleepy?

Magnesium glycinate isn't a sleeping pill or sedative. Magnesium supports normal nervous-system and muscle function, while glycine is commonly associated with relaxation. It may help support your body's natural ability to wind down without producing a drug-like or "knocked out" feeling.

Is Magnesium Glycinate easier on the stomach?

Magnesium glycinate is generally considered a well-tolerated form of magnesium and is less associated with the laxative effect commonly seen with forms such as magnesium citrate or oxide. Individual responses can still vary.

How long does one pouch last?

Each pouch contains 270 capsules. At the recommended serving of 3 capsules daily, that's a full 90-day supply.

Can I take Magnesium Glycinate with medications or other supplements?

Magnesium can interact with certain medications and may affect their absorption, including some antibiotics and thyroid medications. If you take prescription medications, have kidney problems, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under medical care, speak with your healthcare professional before adding magnesium to your routine.
