What I hear from women, again and again

As a pharmacist, I talk to a lot of women in their thirties, forties and fifties, and the same few things keep coming up. They rarely start with a question about supplements. They start with how they feel.

"I'm exhausted, but I can't switch off."

By the evening they're running on empty, yet the minute their head hits the pillow, tomorrow's to-do list starts playing.

"I'm awake at 3am every night."

They drop off fine, then wake in the small hours and lie there watching the clock until the alarm goes.

"My legs won't settle at night."

After a long day on their feet, their legs ache or twitch just as they're finally trying to rest.

"I've tried magnesium before."

They took it for weeks without noticing much, and some found it upset their stomach, so the tub ended up at the back of the press.

If any of that sounds like you, you're not alone, and there's a simple reason magnesium so often gets written off before it's had a fair chance.

What I tell them about magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral your body relies on every day. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal muscle function and the normal functioning of your nervous system.

But not all magnesium is the same. When a woman tells me magnesium didn't work for her, I always tell her to look beyond the front of the pack. Many supplements use cheaper forms like magnesium oxide, which can cause digestive discomfort. Ours is magnesium bisglycinate, a gentle, highly absorbable form bound to glycine.

Every two-capsule serving gives you 200mg of elemental magnesium, with nothing added except the capsule shell, so you know exactly what you're getting.

What Pamela noticed

Pamela had tried other supplements with glowing reviews that never lived up to them. This is what she wrote after trying ours for the first time:

I am no longer waking each night at 3am. I was very wary purchasing them as I have tried other supplements that have had rave reviews but did not live up to these reviews.
— Pamela

Reading reviews like Pamela's is exactly why I chose bisglycinate for our Magnesium+: a gentle form, at a dose that's meant to make a difference.

What Magnesium+ does for you

Calmer evenings, better sleep

Taken about an hour before bed, magnesium bisglycinate helps calm the nervous system and supports relaxation, making it a natural part of your wind-down routine.

Less tiredness and fatigue (200mg magnesium)

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, so you've more to give on your busiest days.

Muscle function and recovery

Magnesium plays a direct role in normal muscle function, supporting recovery and helping to ease everyday tension and cramping.

Each two-capsule serving provides 200mg of elemental magnesium. You can take one or two capsules a day, depending on how much you'd like.

What changes when you stick with it

Magnesium isn't about one perfect night. The key is consistency, taking it at the same time each evening as you start to wind down, so it becomes part of how your day ends.

There's something else I always mention. When so much of your day goes to looking after other people, those few quiet minutes before bed are a small way of looking after yourself.

Does it actually work?

I was a bit skeptical at first, have tried other magnesium products and found no benefits. But these actually work, I take 2 pills before bed and I'm asleep in 20 minutes. Having long uninterrupted sleeps with them. Really happy with this product.

Gentle on your stomach, easy to take

If magnesium has upset your stomach before, this is the part you'll like. Bisglycinate is gentle on the stomach, with no aftertaste, so it's suitable for everyday use.

Take one or two capsules with water about an hour before bed. You can take them with or without food, and if you ever notice any digestive discomfort, take them with a light snack. Please don't exceed the recommended daily dose.
