Magnesium

Bottom line These two cover different jobs. Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om is the better sleep formula on paper – more elemental magnesium in a gentler form and a low 0.3 mg melatonin dose that research actually supports. Beam Dream is the nicer nightly ritual – a warm cocoa drink with reishi and a higher 3

Bottom line Beam Dream is a pleasant, well-made bedtime cocoa, but it is not worth the price for most people. The two ingredients doing the real work are magnesium and melatonin, and Beam underdoses the magnesium badly while charging premium money for the ritual. Best for: people who want a tasty wind-down ritual, dislike pills,

Bottom line These are not competitors.

Nature Made, NOW Foods, and Doctor’s Best all deliver real chelated magnesium for a fraction of the premium DTC price – the $40 bottle is mostly marketing. Best for: Anyone who

Bottom line If you want to try magnesium for nighttime leg cramps, start with a well-absorbed form like glycinate rather than the cheap oxide most drugstore brands sell. Be honest with yourself, though: the trial evidence for cramps is weak, so treat it as a low-risk experiment, not a cure. Best for: People with frequent
