    The Evening Elixir

    Our verdict

    Magnesium is the ingredient doing the work here, and it is a sensible one for evening restlessness and cycle-related sleep disruption. You can buy magnesium glycinate far cheaper, so buy this for the format if you will actually use it.

    Pros

    • +Magnesium in a well-tolerated form
    • +Pleasant to take, so adherence is good
    • +No melatonin, so no prescription issue in the UK

    Cons

    • -Magnesium alone costs a fraction of this
    • -Adaptogen doses are modest
    • -Daily powder ritual does not suit everyone

    Evidence

    Magnesium supplementation has reasonable evidence for sleep quality where intake is low. Tart cherry has small studies suggesting modest melatonin support.

    Dose

    One teaspoon in water in the evening

    Best for

    • · Restless evenings
    • · Perimenopausal sleep disruption
    • · Anyone who dislikes capsules

    Not for

    • · Kidney impairment without medical advice
    • · Anyone already taking high-dose magnesium
