The 22% magnesium trick

Magnesium glycinate for sleep: dose, timing, evidence.

Magnesium is the most-recommended sleep mineral on the internet. Here's what the research actually says — and the label trick most Indian brands hope you won't notice.

The dose research supports

Clinical studies on sleep use roughly 200–400 mg of elemental magnesium. The strongest recent evidence: a 2025 randomized controlled trial (155 adults, 18–65, poor sleepers) where 250 mg of magnesium as bisglycinate significantly improved insomnia severity in four weeks. Older trials at ~320–500 mg point the same way.

The label trick: salt weight vs elemental

Magnesium bisglycinate is only about 14% elemental magnesium. So "2,000 mg magnesium bisglycinate" on a label = roughly 280 mg of actual magnesium. Many brands quote the big salt number; your body only gets the elemental fraction. Always look for the word elemental — if it's missing, do the ~14% math.
