Magnesium Optimization Protocol

What is Magnesium Optimization Protocol?

50-70% of people are magnesium deficient. This single mineral affects 300+ enzymatic processes: sleep, muscle recovery, anxiety, blood pressure, energy, and mood. Different forms target different issues — choosing the right one matters.

Is there evidence for it?

How do you do Magnesium Optimization Protocol?

1. 1.For sleep + brain health: Magnesium L-threonate (Magtein) — 2g (yields 145mg elemental Mg) before bed. This is the only form that crosses the blood-brain barrier
2. 2.For anxiety + muscle cramps: Magnesium glycinate — 200-400mg before bed. Very calming, excellent absorption, gentle on stomach
3. 3.For constipation + general: Magnesium citrate — 200-400mg. Good bioavailability but can cause loose stools (feature, not a bug, for constipation)
4. 4.AVOID: Magnesium oxide — cheap and everywhere, but only 4% bioavailable. You're basically buying expensive laxative
5. 5.Start with one form, take for 2 weeks, then add another if needed. Many people benefit from glycinate at night + citrate in morning

How long does it take?

10 seconds to take.

Is it hard to start?
