Nature Made magnesium glycinate 200 mg - the cheap 30-day bottle
This is the low-cost way to try magnesium glycinate. Nature Made's 60-capsule bottle is about $12 and lasts 30 days. It averages 4.6 stars from around 22,400 reviews.
What's in it
The listing gives 200 mg of magnesium per serving. A serving is two capsules a day, taken with water and a meal. The magnesium is bisglycinate, a chelated form that Nature Made describes as gentle on the stomach. It's gluten-free, with no added color and no artificial flavors.
Check the Supplement Facts panel on the bottle for the exact magnesium amount. That's the number that counts toward your daily limit.
What it can and can't do
Nature Made says magnesium helps support the production of melatonin and helps the body relax. Be realistic about that. The evidence that magnesium supplements improve sleep is limited and mixed. They may help people who are low in magnesium. If you aren't, you may notice nothing. The listing itself carries the standard line that its statements haven't been evaluated by the FDA. Dietary supplements aren't FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness before sale.
Our magnesium for sleep guide covers the research, the different forms and when to take it.
Staying under the limit
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements sets the upper limit for supplemental magnesium at 350 mg a day for adults. Magnesium from food doesn't count. The 200 mg serving leaves room, but if you also take a multivitamin or another product with magnesium in it, add those up.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, especially if you have kidney disease or take any medication.
Who it's for
- First-timers who want to see whether magnesium makes any difference before buying a big bottle
- People who prefer a lower dose
Who should skip it
If you want a third-party quality mark, the Nature Made 300 mg, 90 capsules is USP Verified according to its listing. It costs about $23 for 30 days, and you take three capsules a day instead of two. For a bigger bottle from a different brand, the Doctor's Best 240-tablet is about $24.
A capsule won't fix a bad evening routine. Our bedtime routine for adults and wind-down routine without your phone are worth reading alongside it.
