Magnesium+

Most magnesium supplements stop at one form in a capsule. This powder pairs magnesium bisglycinate—a chelated version bound to the amino acid glycine—with tart cherry extract in a dissolvable format you stir into water each evening.

Bisglycinate is absorbed intact in the intestine, so it sidesteps the loose-stool complaints that come with cheaper oxide or citrate forms. The glycine itself contributes to the calming effect many people notice before bed. Tart cherry brings anthocyanins and polyphenols that have been studied for exercise recovery and sleep cycle support.

You mix one scoop in six to eight ounces of cool water. The powder dissolves without clumping, and the flavor is mildly tart—no stevia, no artificial sweeteners. Drink it thirty to sixty minutes before you want to start winding down. Some people feel the shift within a few nights; for others it takes consistent use over two weeks.

Each serving delivers a meaningful dose of both ingredients. The format matters if you dislike swallowing pills or if you want the ritual of a pre-bed drink. Because bisglycinate is gentle, you can take it on an empty stomach without discomfort, though pairing it with a light snack is fine too.

This is not a sedative. It works by replenishing magnesium stores and supporting muscle relaxation, which in turn can make it easier to settle. If you're deficient, the effect is more pronounced. If you already get plenty of magnesium from diet, the change may be subtle.

The canister holds thirty servings. Store it sealed in a cool, dry place. The powder can clump in humid conditions, but a quick shake usually loosens it. Ritual manufactures this in the United States and shares full traceability for each ingredient.
