Overview

Evening Magnesium is a gentle, calming supplement made with a premium form of magnesium called glycinate complex.

All-natural and easily absorbed, Evening Magnesium helps you relax, sleep and wake up the next morning feeling refreshed — not groggy and foggy-headed, like with commercial sleep aids.

And unlike other magnesium supplements for sleep, our formula is super clean and made in small batches. This means no common allergens and additives that might interfere with a restful slumber and digestion. Plus, it doesn’t include magnesium citrate, which may cause gastric upset, or magnesium oxide by itself, which is difficult to absorb.

One capsule of Smidge® Evening Magnesium will begin to wind down your day, in addition to helping fulfill your body’s essential need for magnesium. It also may help reduce feelings of mild stress and restlessness — and soothe sleep-disturbing leg cramps.

100 mg of magnesium per capsule (as Chelamax® magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium oxide)

What does Smidge® Evening Magnesium do?

Magnesium is one of the most natural ways to help with a good night’s rest.* So we created an all-natural sleep supplement with magnesium glycinate complex that everyone can love, even people with sensitivities. This way, Evening Magnesium supports deeply satisfying sleep, without unpleasant side digestive effects.

But magnesium goes far beyond getting your zzzs. Depending on which studies you read, magnesium is responsible for between 300 to 800 enzyme-driven processes in the body, many of which support the nervous system. This reflects the important role potentially played by magnesium in physiological and pathological function.* Here are more well-documented benefits of magnesium glycinate complex:

• Provides a concentrated, absorbable form of magnesium
• Helps you feel more alert by activating the body’s energy source, ATP
• Helps relax muscles and reduce mild leg cramps
• Supports elimination and digestion
• May ease mild headaches, migraine frequency and severity*
• May support blood sugar regulation, easing mild inflammation*
• Supports nerve function, blood pressure and heart health*
• Supports cell function, cellular repair and antioxidant status*
• May ease mild premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and period cramps*

Another huge role magnesium plays is aiding in the body’s regulation of calcium, potassium and sodium. It supports the absorption of calcium into the bones, rather than the tissues where it could cause health imbalances. And, magnesium is critical for the absorption and activation of vitamin D, which also helps support bone growth and maintenance.*

Magnesium’s beneficial impact on GABA, mood regulation and sleep

Magnesium increases GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that lessens a nerve cell’s ability to receive, create or send chemical messages to other nerve cells. GABA calms excitability in the brain by slowing and relaxing its receptor activity — and can gently, naturally block certain nerve signals in the brain to reduce fear and stress.

When GABA is low, it becomes difficult to relax. The benefits of increasing magnesium storage in the body and raising your GABA levels include:

• Lessening the production of the primary stress hormone cortisol
• Helping regulate stress response
• Reducing brain fog and memory issues*
• Supporting a calm, positive mood*

Dosage

Always start with a smidge! Take one capsule, one to three times daily with food, or as directed by a certified medical practitioner. (See “low and slow” note below.)

How to take: Evening Magnesium should be taken with food at night or about a half-hour before you lay down to sleep.

Start low and slow: Smidge® supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it’s critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a very small dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what dosage feels right for you.

Can this be taken as a powder without the capsule?

Yes! You can take Smidge® Evening Magnesium as powder if you open up the capsule. It works best mixed with a smoothie or something blended, as it may not dissolve as well in just plain liquid.

Or you can try taking it under the tongue and then quickly chasing it with a sip of some fresh juice or spring water.
