We talk a lot about getting better sleep — turning off screens, drinking less caffeine, winding down earlier. But there’s one quiet mineral that doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how essential it is to true rest: magnesium.
It’s not trendy. It’s not buzzy. But it’s powerful. And chances are, your body’s been craving it.
So, what exactly does magnesium do?
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions in your body. It plays a central role in how your muscles relax, how your nervous system regulates stress, and how your brain prepares for sleep.
Here’s what it’s doing behind the scenes:
- It helps you unwind: Magnesium supports the production of GABA — a neurotransmitter that calms your brain and helps reduce racing thoughts before bed.
- It relaxes your muscles: Low magnesium can lead to muscle tension or cramps, making it harder to fall (and stay) asleep.
- It balances your nervous system: Magnesium helps regulate your parasympathetic nervous system — the one responsible for rest and recovery — so your body can fully shift into “sleep mode.”
What the science says
A 2012 study published in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences found that magnesium supplementation significantly improved sleep time, sleep efficiency, and reduced nighttime awakenings in older adults with insomnia.
Another study from Nutrients (2020) showed that magnesium plays a critical role in maintaining healthy levels of melatonin — the hormone that signals your body when it’s time to sleep.
Here’s the thing: most of us don’t get enough
Magnesium is found in leafy greens, nuts, and whole grains — but even a healthy diet might not cover your needs. Modern farming has depleted soil levels, and stress, caffeine, alcohol, and even exercise can drain your magnesium stores.
In short: you’re doing your best. But your body may still be running low.
That’s why we included it in Eese
Eese isn’t just a cozy drink — it’s functional. We use magnesium bisglycinate, a highly absorbable form that’s gentle on your stomach and easy for your body to use.
It’s there to help you soften into your evening, let go of the day, and give your body what it’s been quietly asking for all along.
