Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including the ones that regulate your nervous system and muscle function. It's also one of the most common nutritional shortfalls in modern diets.

We use magnesium glycinate specifically, rather than cheaper forms like magnesium oxide, because it's bound to glycine — an amino acid that's itself associated with calm, restorative sleep — and it's significantly better absorbed by the body.

This is one of the two "workhorse" ingredients in MoonBites, alongside L-Theanine — the pairing is designed to calm the body and quiet the mind at the same time.
