The Magic of Magnesium Glycinate

When it comes to getting deep, restorative sleep, there’s one often-overlooked nutrient that can make all the difference.

We talk a lot about winding down here at Clevr—because we believe how you end your day is just as important as how you start it. And when it comes to getting deep, restorative sleep, there’s one often-overlooked nutrient that can make all the difference: magnesium glycinate.

Let’s dig into what it is, how it works, and how you can use it to get the best sleep of your life.

Magnesium 101: Why It Matters for Sleep

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in hundreds of bodily functions, including nerve regulation, muscle relaxation, and stress response. It’s often called the “relaxation mineral,” and for good reason: when your magnesium levels are low, you may notice trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or even feeling calm in the first place.

Modern life makes it easy to become deficient. Stress, caffeine, alcohol, and poor soil quality all deplete magnesium levels—meaning even those with a “healthy” diet might not be getting enough.

What Makes Magnesium Glycinate Special?

There are many forms of magnesium out there—magnesium citrate, oxide, chloride—but not all are created equal when it comes to sleep.

We use Magnesium Glycinate in our Sleeptime SuperLatte. This is the best form of magnesium for sleep as it is bound to glycine, an amino acid that enhances relaxation, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep quality. It’s highly bioavailable, meaning the body absorbs and utilizes it efficiently, without the digestive discomfort associated with other forms. Because glycine itself has calming properties, magnesium glycinate works synergistically to promote deep, restorative sleep while also supporting muscle relaxation and nervous system balance.

Benefits of magnesium glycinate include:

Improved sleep quality (not just quantity)
Reduced anxiety and stress response
Muscle relaxation to help your body physically unwind
Gentle on the stomach, unlike some other forms of magnesium

Magnesium + Ritual = Better Rest

Magnesium works best when taken consistently and paired with a calming nightly ritual. That’s exactly why we made it a key ingredient in our Sleeptime SuperLatte—a cozy, caffeine-free blend designed to ease you into rest mode.

Each serving includes a gentle, effective dose of magnesium glycinate, along with other functional ingredients like:

Ashwagandha – an adaptogen that helps balance cortisol
Passionflower + Valerian – herbs that promote calm
Reishi mushroom – for nervous system support and stress resilience
Oat milk + coconut cream – for a creamy, dreamy texture that feels like a treat

It’s everything you want in a wind-down ritual: delicious, effective, and grounded in science.

The Bottom Line: Better Sleep Starts with Smarter Support

If you’re looking to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up actually feeling refreshed, magnesium glycinate could be a game-changer. And pairing it with a nourishing bedtime ritual—like sipping on your Sleeptime SuperLatte—can help turn rest into something you look forward to, not just something you need.

Sweet dreams start here.
