Common questions
Which form of magnesium is best for sleep?+
Glycinate — magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that is itself calming. It absorbs well and is gentle on the stomach. The cheap supermarket version is usually oxide, which is poorly absorbed and mostly a laxative.
How long before magnesium helps my sleep?+
Taken 30 to 60 minutes before bed, consistently, give it at least two to three weeks. This is a mineral you restore, not a sleeping pill you feel in twenty minutes.
What if I fall asleep fine but wake at 3am with my mind racing?+
Magnesium helps the body but will not silence a stressed mind — that is more about your stress load than a mineral. And if you snore heavily and wake unrefreshed every day, please talk to a doctor about your sleep itself before buying anything.
Product details
Magnesium glycinate from Willow, 120 capsules, made in Gqeberha. Glycinate is the form; the milligrams are the other half of the answer, and we do not hold them. The only label we have is the front of the bottle. Rather than guess at a number this specific, here is what we can tell you, and how to get the rest in a minute.
What the label says
The bottle front reads Magnesium Glycinate, 120 CAPSULES, under the Willow mark and the brand's lines Wholistic supplements actualising your physical potential and The Wellness Specialists. Willow is a South African brand, produced in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
What glycinate means, plainly: magnesium has to be bonded to something to be taken as a capsule, and here it is bonded to glycine. Different bonds behave differently, and the elemental magnesium figure — the amount of actual magnesium, after the weight of the bond is taken off — is what you compare between brands. It is usually a fraction of the number on the front of the bottle.
How to take it
As directed on the bottle, or as directed by your health practitioner.
What is in it
Magnesium glycinate. We are not printing an elemental figure we cannot read.
Message a consultant on WhatsApp and we will take this bottle off the shelf, read you the elemental milligrams and the serving size, and compare it against the other glycinates we carry. It takes a minute.
Before you buy
Magnesium interacts with several prescribed medicines, including some antibiotics and some blood-pressure medication. If you take anything regularly, ask your pharmacist or a consultant first.
