The NHS states that magnesium is used to turn our food into energy and help the parathyroid glands – which produce hormones important for bone health – work normally. It is found in foods such as nuts, spinach and wholemeal bread.
iHerb’s California Gold Nutrition Magnesium Glycinate contains 400 mg of elemental magnesium per serving (133 mg per capsule) that is ‘bound to the amino acid glycine to ease metabolism’ according to its listing on the retailer’s website. One fan said it ‘massively helped with jetlag’ while another said their ‘sleep quality had improved’.
Back to iHerb’s California Gold Nutrition Magnesium Glycinate, and shoppers from around the globe have left thousands of reviews for the product, with its overall review score standing at a near-perfect 4.8 out of five stars.
One customer from Singapore, who left a five-star rating, said: “Magnesium Glycinate has really helped me regulate my sleep over the last month. A couple of tablets about 30 minutes before bedtime helps me to get a good night’s rest without feeling groggy in the morning.”
A shopper from Hong Kong commented: “This is the only thing that has helped me to stay asleep and massively helped with jetlag recently. I take the recommended dosage with dinner and find myself able to sleep through the night without waking once – melatonin and other sleepy time teas don’t work half as well.”
They did continue to mention a minor potential pitfall however, commenting: “It has no flavour, but the pills are quite large.”
Another five star review from a buyer in China reads: “After taking it for a period of time, I clearly felt more energetic, less sleepy during the day, and my sleep quality improved.”
It is worth noting that one customer deducted a star as they remained unsure of the product’s effect on them personally, writing in part of their lengthy review: “The quality is good, and there’s a lot of it, so the price is reasonable. It doesn’t have any strange smells. It’s said to be good for sleep, but I haven’t noticed any effects yet.”
Despite this, someone else reviewing the product in Hong Kong said: “In winter, I am afraid to get up and exert myself. My legs often appear severe cramps, my muscles are stretched to the extreme, and I am painful and tired. Now taking a pill of magnesium before bed is completely fine and my sleep quality has improved.”
