Thank you...good stuff!!!

Best magnesium product! I am sleeping GREAT!

This came highly recommended to me by a health care professional and I'm excited to give it a shot! Easy to incorporate into my night time routine!

Works like a charm. No more melatonin for me. I love that I ca he to sleep more naturally this way.

I picked this up because I was having trouble sleeping. My life is pretty stressful and I really need quality rest to function. After taking it for a while I started noticing I actually feel more rested in the morning. Not groggy, just like I actually slept. I'm sticking with it.

Works great. Sleep improved dramatically.

Frequently asked questions

Glycinate is the form most commonly chosen for evening routines, it's highly absorbable and supports relaxation and restful sleep.* If you've tried magnesium before and felt nothing (or felt it in your gut), the form was probably the problem.

Absorption and tolerance. Magnesium glycinate binds magnesium to glycine, making it easier for your body to absorb and far gentler on digestion than oxide or citrate.

Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. This form is highly absorbable (80-90% bioavailability) and gentle on digestion, unlike cheaper forms like magnesium oxide (4-5% absorption) which often cause diarrhea. The glycine itself also supports calmness, making this a dual-action supplement.

Most drugstore magnesium supplements use magnesium oxide because it's cheap. But your body can only absorb 4-5% of it, and the rest causes digestive upset. SageMD Calm uses magnesium glycinate, which has 80-90% absorption and is gentle on your stomach. You get more benefit with fewer side effects.

Most people take it 30–60 minutes before bed as part of a wind-down routine. Consistency matters more than timing, same time, every night.

Start with 1-2 capsules daily (75-150mg magnesium). The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is 310-420mg depending on age and gender. Since most people get some magnesium from food, 1-2 capsules helps bridge the gap without exceeding healthy intake levels. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

No. Magnesium glycinate supports your body's natural relaxation processes but doesn't sedate you. It helps your nervous system function optimally, which may help you feel calmer during the day and sleep better at night, but it won't make you drowsy.

Yes. Magnesium works well with most supplements. It's often recommended alongside vitamin D and calcium for bone health. In fact, you need magnesium to activate vitamin D. Just avoid taking magnesium at the exact same time as calcium supplements, as they can compete for absorption, space them a few hours apart.

Check your multivitamin label. Most contain only 50-100mg of magnesium, often as poorly absorbed magnesium oxide. That's typically not enough to meet daily needs or correct deficiency. SageMD Calm provides highly absorbable magnesium glycinate that actually works.

Magnesium is generally safe with most medications. However, it can interact with certain antibiotics (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones), space them at least 2 hours apart. If you take blood pressure medication, magnesium may enhance its effects, so your doctor might need to adjust your dosage as your blood pressure improves. Always inform your healthcare provider about all supplements you take.

Some benefits appear quickly, many people notice better sleep and fewer muscle cramps within the first week. However, full restoration of healthy cellular magnesium levels takes 4-8 weeks of consistent supplementation. Maximum benefits typically appear after 2-3 months of daily use.

Think of magnesium like eating vegetables, it's an essential nutrient your body needs daily. Given modern soil depletion, food processing, and lifestyle factors that deplete magnesium (stress, alcohol, certain medications), most people benefit from ongoing supplementation to maintain healthy levels.

SageMD Calm is formulated for adults. Children have different magnesium needs based on age and weight. Consult your pediatrician for appropriate children's magnesium supplements and dosing.

Unlike magnesium citrate or oxide, magnesium glycinate rarely causes digestive issues at normal doses. If you do experience loose stools (uncommon), reduce to half dose for a week, then gradually increase as your body adjusts.

Magnesium is important during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but requirements change. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement while pregnant or nursing.

Less than 1% of your body's magnesium circulates in blood, the rest is inside cells. Your body tightly controls blood magnesium levels by pulling from cellular stores, so your blood test can be "normal" while your cells are severely deficient. This is why nearly half of Americans have inadequate magnesium intake despite "normal" blood tests.

Many supplements list the total compound weight (e.g., "500mg magnesium glycinate") but contain only 50-75mg of elemental magnesium; the form your body uses. SageMD Calm clearly states the elemental magnesium content per capsule (75mg), so you know exactly what you're getting.

Yes. Magnesium from supplements is considered safe for long-term use when taken at recommended doses. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for supplemental magnesium is 350mg per day for adults. Excess magnesium from supplements is typically excreted by healthy kidneys. However, if you have kidney disease, consult your doctor before supplementing.

Yes, you can open the capsules and mix the contents with water or food if you have difficulty swallowing capsules. The magnesium glycinate is tasteless to mildly sweet due to the glycine.
