A Smarter Magnesium for Better Sleep, Calmer Days, and Sharper Focus

There’s a very good chance you already know all the amazing benefits of magnesium, and that it is kinda a big deal. It's involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, supporting everything from sleep to stress, energy to hormones, and mood to digestion, and it’s probably already a staple in your supplement routine.

So, this isn’t another blog about all the benefits of magnesium, as you’ve likely read enough of those. Instead, we’re excited to introduce a brand new magnesium supplement that’s genuinely mind blowing, and we’re super excited to finally share it with you!

If you’re already a magnesium lover, then you’re in for a treat. Although, this is suitable for everyone, those starting with magnesium for the first time, but also those who just need a little upgrade to a smarter, more effective version.

So, let’s break down exactly why this formula is so amazing, who will benefit most, and why it’s not “just another magnesium.” At Kate Living HQ we are constantly monitoring and researching the global supplements market to ensure we are offering the best supplements and this is a magnesium formula is like nothing we’ve ever seen before!

You Don’t Need More Supplements. You Need Smarter Ones.

Magnesium comes in many different forms, and honestly, it can get confusing with what’s best for what and so on. And the truth is, they all have their very own benefits and reasons why you could take them. We actually covered this a while back, so if you’re interested, read that blog here.

That said, our all round favourite is magnesium glycinate (sometimes called bis-glycinate). It's gentle on the tummy and paired with glycine, which is a calming amino acid that supports relaxation, sleep, and the nervous system.

Now, there’s one thing that is often overlooked but is incredibly important when choosing your magnesium supplements, and that’s the amount of elemental magnesium, the part your body actually uses.

For example, you may see on some supplements 300mg of magnesium citrate, but that's the total compound weight, not the absorbable amount. So, without clear elemental magnesium information, it's hard to know what you're really getting.

While some of our trusted food grade magnesiums don't specify elemental amounts (and that's perfectly fine for their category), Natroceutics’ innovative technology allows them to clearly state a highly potent 125mg of elemental magnesium, per capsule.

Considering the recommended daily intake is around 320mg for women, that's a very impressive dose, especially when you’re also getting magnesium through food. 

How Magnesium Glycinate Supports Sleep and Energy from Morning to Night

Magnesium is literally involved in everything, so here is an example of how magnesium can help you power through the day, and how it supports your body from day to night. 

7:00am: You wake up groggy and your cortisol is already rising, and that first cup of coffee is calling. However, caffeine increases your magnesium loss even further. Supplementing early in the morning helps buffer your nervous system before the day gets hectic.

11:00am: Stress peaks, meetings start kicking in, to-do lists start getting longer, and toddler tantrums, well, they’re one of life’s biggest challenges. Magnesium steps in to support your adrenal function and helps keep your nervous system grounded.

2:00pm: Energy dips, blood sugar out of balance, you feel frazzled, and you brain could use a lift. That’s where glycine works best with magnesium, calming your mind without sedating it, supporting focus, memory and mood regulation.

8:30pm: You’re wired but tired. Magnesium glycinate calms your muscles, soothes your mind, and supports melatonin production, gently encouraging a deeper, more restful sleep.

Do You Need Some Magnesium? 

In short, yes, we believe everyone needs magnesium. 

Mostly due to limited magnesium found in our soil today, caused by reduced quality in farming practices. And also because our ability to absorb magnesium properly has reduced as modern stresses impact our gut, leading to lower absorption and utilisation rates.

But, if you’re still not sure, then take a look at the following and see how many apply to you:

• You experience regular stress.

• You drink coffee or tea daily.

• You work out or sweat regularly.

• You’re on your period or peri/menopausal.

• You eat a high sugar or refined carb diet.

• You’ve been pregnant, breastfeeding, or both.

If you ticked off 3 or more, you likely need more magnesium than you’re currently getting. It’s one of the most common deficiencies, especially for women.

Key Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate for Sleep, Stress, and Energy

I know we said we wouldn’t cover all the benefits of magnesium, but it would be rude not to touch on it a little.

Here’s a quick recap of just a few reasons why magnesium is super important for us all:

• Supports better, deeper sleep and melatonin production.

• Helps regulate cortisol, lower anxiety and reduce stress.

• Plays a role in blood sugar levels and insulin control.

• Supports hormone balance and bone health.

• Aids muscle recovery and reduces cramps.

• Calms the nervous system and boosts mood.

So... What Makes This Magnesium so Unique & Different?

What makes this magnesium different is the potency (632mg per capsule), the clearly defined elemental magnesium (120mg per capsule), and the delivery system (liposomal technology). 

When magnesium glycinate is wrapped in liposomal technology, it delivers on a whole new level. Liposomes help nutrients travel through the gut and directly into cells, especially brain cells, where they’re needed most.

This makes it perfect for anyone feeling foggy, forgetful, or struggling with focus. It's especially beneficial for neurodivergent brains, those navigating ADHD, anxiety, sensory overload, or emotional regulation challenges. And because magnesium glycinate is so gentle and well absorbed, it's often a favourite during pregnancy too, when some calming support is needed most.

So, here’s where Natroceutics fits in. Many of our customers run out of magnesium before the rest of the supplements in the bundle. We get emails every week asking what to do next. 

What we suggest now is, instead of repurchasing the Terranova Magnesium Bisglycinate which is found in our bundles, add this in for the perfect bundle top up and see if you feel the difference, especially for brain focus and sleep support.

The recommended dose is 1 - 2 a day. We suggest, to start with 2 a day for the first month, to really saturate the magnesium levels in your body, and then reduce to just 1 a day. 

Which, isn’t that amazing for the amount of magnesium and for how great you’ll feel? Plus, it’s super cost effective, as this will now last you 2 months!

Smarter Magnesium, Smarter You: How Magnesium Glycinate Can Support You

We’re not here to say this magnesium is any better than our others, it’s just different. It’s innovative and using brand new science and technology. We still love and adore our bestselling Terranova Magnesium Bisglycinate, and that’s not changing any time soon. This is simply an option for those who want another level of absorption, brain specific benefits, and fewer capsules to take.

Whether you’re new to magnesium or already on it and often need a top up after running out too soon, then have a think about adding this into your supplement routine. And let us know how it makes you feel, we love hearing your stories and experiences.

Times are changing, science is improving and supplements are just getting smarter. Magnesium glycinate is already known for its gentleness on digestion and calming effects, but pairing it with liposomal magnesium citrate (wrapped in phosphatidylcholine) takes absorption and cellular support to a whole new level.

And that’s exactly what we mean by smarter.
