Magnesium Sleep Powder

Magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, melatonin, L-theanine, and GABA are all compounds that help promote better sleep.

Magnesium plays a role in muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure and blood sugar, and building bones and DNA. It may also help regulate neurotransmitters that are directly related to sleep.

Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle.

L-theanine is an amino acid that may help reduce stress and anxiety, which can interfere with sleep.

GABA is a neurotransmitter that helps promote relaxation.

In combination, these compounds help ward off mental exhaustion, stimulate the release of dopamine, and increase my ability to sleep.

Tastes yummy and works well!

I've recently discovered that certain forms of magnesium work better than eating a banana before bedtime to stop leg and foot cramps. This product contains magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate, both of which are very effective cramp stoppers. The dose (220 mg) is just a little on the low side -- I usually take a 350 mg tab every other day, but 220 seems to work just fine, though I'm having a daily dose just to be sure.

This mix also includes 5 mg of melatonin, 50 mg of L-Theanine, and 100 mg of GABA. My husband, who routinely takes 5 mg of melatonin at bedtime finds this powder to work very well, relaxing him, helping his sleep, and keeping leg cramps away.

I need 50 mg of melatonin to have any effect at all, so I take this supplement purely for the anti-foot cramp properties, and I take it most often in the morning, since you can take magnesium any time of day. It stops the cramps and has no other effect on me -- and I like that. The last thing I want to do at bedtime is drink an extra glass of water.

All in all, this is great stuff. If low dose melatonin works for you, be sure and take it at the end of the day. Otherwise, anytime is fine. I was having foot and leg cramps nightly before I added magnesium. The problem is now over. I'm a happy camper. This mix even tastes good. There's nothing not to like!

I've had to take melatonin to sleep my whole life and sometimes on high stress nights it doesn't do anything even in high doses. It wasn't until recently I've learned about the other active ingredients in this drinks so now I continue to look for products with this mix. It makes a world of difference for insomnia. Like others have said it doesn't keep you asleep through the night but for me being able to fall asleep is the hardest part.

It has a good enough flavor to make it palatable. It definitely made me more calm and relaxed which helped me sleep better.
