FAQs
Will magnesium glycinate help with my sleep?
Magnesium glycinate is popular for this benefit. It's well-known for its ability to improve sleep quality without causing drowsiness. Specifically, for users of this supplement, sleep is the most commonly noted benefit.
Will I experience digestive issues that are common with magnesium?
Digestive disturbances with magnesium glycinate are less common than other forms but still possible, especially with a higher dose. Taking a lower dose with a meal and plenty of water can assist in combating this. Everyone is different; some people are more sensitive to magnesium supplements and may experience adverse digestive effects, even with glycinate.
When is the best time of day to take it?
Magnesium glycinate can be taken any time of the day. People who optimize for sleep benefits tend to take it later in the day, but because it won't cause you to be drowsy, you can also take it earlier. Consuming it with a meal can help increase its effects and absorption.
What is the best dosage?
Adults should take 1-2 capsules per day. You can start with one capsule and see how that works for you, then decide if you think it would be beneficial to increase it to two. Adolescents ages 9-18 years old should take one capsule daily.
If I take two capsules, should I take them together or split the dose?
A once-daily dose is convenient, but taking one capsule twice daily also works well. See what works best for you and your daily routine. Just ensure you remember to take the supplement every day so you're consistently meeting your daily intake needs.
