Nearly every magnesium buyer is carrying a scar — a form that did nothing, or one that wrecked their stomach. Here's what actually went wrong.
You fall asleep fine — then jolt awake in the small hours, mind racing, and can't get back down. It's staying asleep that breaks you.
The wrong form — cheap oxide or citrate — sends you running. So you halve the dose, or quit. Magnesium shouldn't cost you your gut.
That "500mg" on the box? Often cheap oxide your body barely absorbs. You felt nothing — and figured magnesium just doesn't work for you.
The problem was never you.
It was the form.
Each form absorbs differently and works best somewhere different in your body. Buy one form and you cover one job. We built the full spectrum into a single 500mg capsule — so you stop guessing and stop stacking bottles.
Your body uses magnesium in more than 300 processes — sleep, mood, muscles, heart, energy, digestion. A single cheap form can't do all of that. Here's the difference.
That large milligram figure on the front is usually total compound weight — mostly magnesium oxide, which your body barely absorbs. It's not the elemental magnesium that actually counts.
Albion® TRAACS® bisglycinate is a gold-standard chelate — highly absorbable and famously gentle, so it supports calm and sleep without the bathroom sprint.
Six complementary forms, and the real elemental amount printed right on the panel — 500mg, 119% of your daily value. No hiding, no filler math.
Each form earns its place. Here's the specific job every one of them does.
Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine: highly absorbable, exceptionally gentle, and the form most associated with relaxation. It supports a calmer mind and deeper sleep — calm, not sedated — without the laxative effect cheaper forms are known for.
💤 Supports sleep & relaxationBound to malic acid, a molecule central to how your cells make energy. Malate supports healthy energy production and muscle function — the steady, non-jittery energy that carries you through a full day.
⚡ Supports energy & muscle functionWell-absorbed and well-studied, citrate supports healthy digestion and regularity — dialed in at a balanced ratio so you get its benefits as part of a smooth blend, not an all-citrate dose.
🌿 Supports digestion & regularityPaired with taurine, an amino acid concentrated in the heart. Taurate is the form most associated with supporting cardiovascular health and a steady, balanced feeling.
❤️ Supports heart healthA readily-absorbed form that helps top up and maintain healthy magnesium levels day to day — quiet, dependable support underneath everything else the blend is doing.
🔋 Fast-absorbing daily supportThe most magnesium-dense form by weight. Where budget brands make oxide the whole story, we use just enough as a concentrated top-up to round out a real 500mg elemental dose.
➕ Helps maintain magnesium levels

Take two capsules after dinner and let the bisglycinate do its quiet work. It's not a sedative that knocks you out — it's the mineral that helps your nervous system downshift, so you drift off naturally and stay down through the night.
Fewer 3am wake-ups. Calm, not sedated. Mornings that finally feel rested.
Supports restful sleep and a calm, balanced mood. Not a sleep sedative.
Magnesium is what your muscles use to relax. Low levels show up as tight shoulders, post-workout soreness, night cramps and restless legs. Malate and glycinate together support muscle recovery and comfort — day or night.
And because malate feeds the same cycle your cells use to make energy, you get calm and steady daytime drive from one capsule.
Supports muscle recovery, comfort and healthy energy production.
No gritty powders, no five-capsule servings, no shelf of separate bottles. Just one small, easy-to-swallow capsule that's gentle enough for sensitive stomachs — a habit that's actually easy to keep.

Most magnesium is a single, poorly-absorbed form — usually oxide — so very little actually reaches your body, even when the milligram number looks big. Purely Optimal uses six bioavailable forms chosen for how well they absorb, led by gentle chelated bisglycinate, with 500mg of elemental magnesium stated on the panel. It's a different experience from a cheap single-form tablet.
500mg of elemental magnesium per single-capsule serving — 119% of the daily value — printed right on the Supplement Facts panel. We don't inflate the number with total compound weight or hide cheap oxide behind a blend.
That's the number-one complaint about cheap magnesium, and the reason we lead with well-tolerated bisglycinate chelate instead of loading up on oxide or citrate. Most people find it gentle, even sensitive stomachs. Start with the suggested serving and see how you feel.
Different forms genuinely do different things: glycinate for calm and sleep, malate for energy and muscle, taurate for heart, citrate for digestion, aspartate for daily support, and oxide for a concentrated top-up. Six complementary forms cover more of what your body uses magnesium for than any single form can — in one capsule instead of a shelf of bottles.
Many people notice calmer, easier evenings within the first week or two. Because magnesium works by replenishing a mineral you may be low in, the deeper benefits build over 3–4 weeks of consistent daily use — often more noticeable if you stop than dramatic when you start. That's why we back it for 60 days.
Any consistent time works, with or without food. Many people prefer the evening to support their wind-down routine; if you're taking it mainly for daytime energy and recovery, morning is great too.
