    DR.VEGAN Magnesium Glycinate

    Our verdict

    This is the sensible default if you want to try magnesium for sleep or cramps without spending much. Nothing clever, well tolerated, and cheap enough to test properly for a month.

    Pros

    • +Very low cost per day
    • +Glycinate form, gentle on the gut

    Cons

    • -Two capsules needed for the full dose

    Evidence

    Magnesium has reasonable evidence for sleep quality and muscle cramps, and glycinate is the form best tolerated by the gut. It is not a treatment for anxiety or hormonal symptoms.

    Dose

    Two capsules daily, ideally in the evening

    Key ingredients

    Magnesium bisglycinate

    Best for

    • · Broken sleep
