How much mag glycinate for sleep?

Magnesium is good for both sleep and blood pressure, but do not self-prescribe. My doctor suggested 250mg of glycinate daily, but also emphasized regular BP checks and reducing sodium. Keep monitoring your health parameters regularly.

While magnesium glycinate is widely popular for relaxation, the tolerable upper intake level for supplemental magnesium is generally 350mg for adults. It's best to consult your general physician to confirm if this supplement fits your personal health profile.

For sleep, a standard dose of magnesium glycinate is usually around 200mg to 350mg taken an hour before bed. It is much gentler on the stomach compared to other forms. Still, start with a lower dose to see how your body reacts.

I take 200mg of magnesium glycinate post-workout in the evening and it really helps relax my muscles for sleep. Along with it, a quick 20-minute walk after dinner works wonders to wind down naturally. Definitely try combining both!

Before you spend 1000 rupees on fancy magnesium glycinate brands, get a basic blood panel done for around 500 rupees to see if you actually have a deficiency. If not, simple dietary changes like eating pumpkin seeds and almonds are much cheaper and effective.
