Magnesium is a mineral that acts as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body. In one analysis, 48% of the US population consumed less than the required amount of magnesium from food in 2005-2006. Low intake is not the same as a deficiency, and not everyone needs a supplement. Studies of magnesium supplements have shown small or mixed effects on sleep, and no study of Kasivit Magnesium Glycinate itself is cited on this page.
Kasivit Magnesium Glycinate provides 275 mg of elemental magnesium per serving (three capsules), from 2,500 mg of magnesium glycinate (magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine). Studies comparing magnesium forms are few and their results are mixed, so this page does not claim that magnesium glycinate is absorbed better than other forms.

The Science Behind Magnesium Supplements
Magnesium and Sleep
In a 4-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 155 adults reporting poor sleep, 250 mg of elemental magnesium daily as bisglycinate lowered Insomnia Severity Index scores slightly more than placebo (-3.9 vs -2.3 points; p = 0.049); the authors called the effect size small. Reviews describe the overall evidence as limited: a review of three trials in older adults rated it low to very low quality, and a systematic review found uncertain results from randomized trials.

Magnesium and Stress
A review reported low magnesium status in several studies of people with psychological stress and proposed that stress and low magnesium may reinforce each other. The review does not show that taking a magnesium supplement reduces stress. Pickering 2020
Magnesium and Bone
A narrative review of 28 studies reported that lower serum magnesium was related to osteoporosis and that people with lower magnesium intake had lower bone mineral density and a higher fracture risk. Most supplementation studies it covered used citrate, carbonate or oxide, not glycinate. Rondanelli 2021
Magnesium and Blood Pressure
A meta-analysis of 34 placebo-controlled trials found that magnesium supplementation (median dose 368 mg per day for a median of 3 months) lowered systolic blood pressure by 2.00 mm Hg and diastolic by 1.78 mm Hg compared with placebo. This is a small average change and is not a claim about this product. Zhang 2016
Safety
The US upper limit for magnesium from supplements is 350 mg per day for adults; it was set in 1997 with diarrhea as the limiting factor. In studies of magnesium oxide laxatives, high blood magnesium was reported mainly in people with chronic kidney disease. Ask a doctor first if you have kidney disease, and ask a doctor or pharmacist if you take regular medicines. Costello 2023 · Mori 2019 · Yamaguchi 2019
