What is Magnesium Glycinate Before Bed?
One of the most 'life-changing' supplements reported on Reddit. Magnesium glycinate taken 30-60 minutes before bed dramatically improves sleep depth, reduces anxiety, and helps with muscle recovery. Most people are magnesium deficient and don't know it. Reddit users consistently report deeper sleep within 3 days of starting. The glycinate form specifically is preferred because it doesn't cause digestive issues like other forms.
