I want to start taking magnesium supplement to try fix my insomnia. After quick research seems like magnesium glycinate or Magnesium L-threonate. Problem is I don't know which brands to buy for, most brands I manage to find on shoppe or lazada only gives around 200mg per day when I'm looking for 350-400mg per day.

Try Blacksmore. They have high dose magnesium pills.

just take 2 tablets

Try to take one tablet first, if not improving only take two.

what brands are you guys referring to? How many mg per tablet?

Which brand gives 200mg of magnesium glycinate per tablet? Most I can find is 100mg per tablet

I was just referring to your original post. I thought you mentioned around 200mg?

oh right, but I'm also finding a hard time finding brands that gives you that much dosage. With reasonable price of course

2 tablet = RM1 per day only, should be okay ma right?

Magnesium must mix with water for better digestion

can give this a try
magnesium glycinate 400 mg

This one is magnesium aspartate, not the one I'm looking for unfortunately

Yeah I don't know about this one, it says only 40g magnesium

Have you tried the simpler things yet? Example, removing all artificial light and/or sound source, meditation, do not eat 3 hours before bedtime, do not perform strenuous activities 3 hours before bedtime, sleeping in your own bed, etc?

What do you eat for your meals? What is your physical activity level? Do you work shift hours?

I'm asking because if you don't make the necessary adjustments to your lifestyle, the magnesium might not help.

TS how did you decide that you need this supplement for the insomnia?

Did you talk to a doctor or do a blood test?

If you’re hitting dead ends on Shopee and Lazada for 350-400 mg options, it might be a good shout to hit up some local health food stores or bigger pharmacies like Guardian or Watsons. They often stock a wider range of supplements that might not be as visible online.

Regarding brands, I've heard good things about Now Foods and Doctor's Best. They both offer magnesium glycinate around the 200 mg per tablet, so you'd need to take two to hit your target. These brands are generally well-regarded for their quality and effectiveness.

Yeah I'm pretty much just shooting it. Am I doing better now as I'm able to sleep earlier. But taking magnesium is generally good and hard to get overdosed in the first place.

Please don't buy from Lazada and shoppee. Cut out middle man. I use pure thera Rx. All good magnesium supplements is around 200mg 2 biji. So you will need 4 biji.

Make sure it contains
Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (TRAACS®)

off topic from TS but i bought this magnesium nearby my area pharmacy and not bad lasts me about 2 months which 350mg per one tablet

Live well brand?
