Roughly six in ten people who struggle with sleep are getting insufficient magnesium — a mineral that calms the nervous system, loosens tense muscles and helps the brain set its internal clock. No wonder evening magnesium powders, capsules and drink mixes are becoming a bedroom staple.
The bisglycinate + malate combo—featured in our spotlight pick—delivers high bioavailability without the potential side effects of citrate.
Montmorency tart cherries (standardized as CherryPURE®) support your body's natural production of melatonin and slash exercise-induced inflammation—16-39 % higher antioxidant activity, 47 % lower inflammatory markers, and 34 % less muscle soreness in a double-blind RCT.(admin.aformulabr.com.br) Pair those anthocyanins with magnesium and you get a one-two punch for deeper sleep and faster recovery. Only one formula below nails that clinically studied duo.
Why we love it:
Each stick delivers a research-matched 230 mg of highly bioavailable magnesium (bisglycinate + malate) to calm the nervous system and relax muscles, plus 480 mg CherryPURE® tart-cherry powder to boost endogenous melatonin and speed recovery. The result: deeper, uninterrupted sleep and less next-day soreness—all melatonin-free, sugar-free, and third-party tested for purity.
