Magnesium 120 mg by Klean Athlete

If you’re searching for magnesium glycinate for better sleep, fewer muscle cramps, or steadier stress response, this fits. It’s well suited to athletes with heavy sweat loss, people with low veggie/legume intake, and those on diuretics (water pills that waste minerals) or proton‑pump inhibitors for reflux. If your Serum Magnesium is normal but symptoms persist, check RBC Magnesium (magnesium inside red blood cells), which can flag low tissue levels. Klean Athlete’s dose is easy to scale for maintenance or repletion.

Magnesium drives ATP production (the cell’s energy currency) and relaxes muscle by balancing calcium flow in muscle cells. The glycinate form is magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that is gentle on the gut and also signals the brain toward calm via GABA receptors (the system that dampens overexcited nerves). Compared with oxide or citrate, magnesium glycinate is better absorbed and far less laxative, so you can reach an effective dose without bathroom drama.

Each capsule provides 120 mg elemental magnesium; the label allows 1–4 capsules daily with a meal. Most people feel calmer sleep and fewer nighttime cramps when they place most or all of the dose in the evening. Split larger daily amounts into 2–3 doses for steadier absorption. Increase every few days until symptoms improve or you reach bowel tolerance (looser stools), then back off slightly.

Magnesium binds certain meds in the gut. Separate by at least 2–4 hours from levothyroxine, tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics, and oral bisphosphonates for bone. Large calcium or iron doses can compete with absorption; take them at a different meal. If you use blood pressure drugs, monitor at home as you raise magnesium—combined effects can lower readings. Alcohol increases magnesium loss, so needs may be higher on heavy drinking days.

Avoid high-dose magnesium if you have significant kidney disease, because impaired kidneys can’t clear excess and levels can rise too high. If you have myasthenia gravis (a neuromuscular condition causing weakness) or a history of heart block (electrical conduction problems), use magnesium only with clinician guidance. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: typical dietary doses are fine, but use higher amounts only with your obstetric clinician’s input.
