We’re not just talking about #tiredgirltonics on TikTok, Magnesium is having a moment. Major news outlets like The New York Times - New Window and NPR - New Window are writing about it. The wellness community is buzzing. And it's all for good reason.

As much as half of the total population is Magnesium deficient.1
Magnesium does a lot for our bods. It plays a part in over 300 cellular processes throughout the body. It supports muscle relaxation and can even help your body manage stress.2 However, the standard diet in the United States contains approximately 50% of the recommended allowance, meaning as much as half of the total population is Magnesium deficient.1
In a time when stress and rest dominate our dinner convos (we feel you rising, cortisol), Magnesium is a mineral worthy of the hype. But which type of Magnesium can truly help you unwind?
Wait, what is Magnesium Citrate?
One Google search for Magnesium will send you deep down a rabbit hole. It’s a lot. There are likely some types you’ll recognize—Magnesium Sulphate, or Epsom Salt—and others are giving organic chemistry quiz. The key takeaway is simple: some types are easier for the body to absorb—Magnesium Citrate is one of them.
One study compared Magnesium Citrate to Magnesium Glycinate (both are popular in the supplement world) and found that Magnesium Citrate had greater bioavailability in the body.3 That’s just a real snazzy way of saying that your body can absorb it better.
Relaxing Magnesium is formulated with Magnesium Citrate so you can unwind knowing that your body can digest all the goods. The best part? You don’t have to wait for it to dissolve in an elaborate nighttime mocktail. Each tasty gummy packs a juicy blend of ripe raspberry and a hint of lavender flavors. Enjoy a few gummies and be good to go (or chill) without the kitchen clean-up.
Find Your Chill
We all feel it. The morning shuffle. The looming deadlines. The kink in your neck (when did sleeping become dangerous?). The never ending, what-to-make-for-dinner discussion. For when the invisible load is too real, Relaxing Magnesium shows up with some super chill vibes to help you manage all of that, plus some. For best results, take four gummies daily.
Scientific Hot Takes
You don’t have to be Bill Nye to understand how Magnesium can fit into your routine. But truth be told, we live for this stuff. So, we put together a couple of juicy science nuggets and nerdy breakdowns to satisfy your curiosity (and ours).
Muscle Love
Science says: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) notes that Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, including the heart. It defines muscle relaxation and contraction as being instrumental in relaxation.2
TLDR:
Your muscles and your heart gotta relax a little bit so you can unwind. Relaxing Magnesium can help with that.
Stress Test
Science says: A study found that Magnesium supplementation significantly improves mild/moderate stress.4
TLDR:
Stress is a thing. Relaxing Magnesium can help your body manage stress and find a little ease in your routine.*
Conclusion
At the end of the day, we’re still responsible for taking care of ourselves throughout this whole “human experience” thing. Eating nourishing meals (takeout is queen), getting some sunshine (with SPF, duh), binging the latest season of White Lotus—you know, doing all the important stuff that keeps us alive.
If there’s a way to make all the *life stuff* more manageable, we’re here for it. From forest bathing to sleep podcasts, just remember to carve out time to breathe deeply and rest completely. If you feel like you need a little bit more OM and less OMG, give Relaxing Magnesium a go. Your body (and mind) will thank you.
