Most magnesium bottles lie. Ours doesn't have to.
Three things we refuse to do.
Front label matches back label.
Magnesium glycinate is 14.1% elemental magnesium. Multiply our total compound weight by 0.141 and you'll get exactly the elemental number we advertise.
2,553mg magnesium glycinate. 360mg elemental. Do the math.
One form. Glycinate. That's it.
No oxide buffering to inflate the elemental count. No proprietary blends hiding the breakdown. No "magnesium complex."
One form. One number. One thing in the bottle.
Sourced where pollution never reached.
Zechstein seabed. Sealed under bedrock for 250 million years. Widely considered the purest magnesium source on Earth.
Third-party tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.
Real people. Real labels. Real results.

How to take it.
Why most people are running on empty.
An estimated 50% of American adults don't get enough magnesium from diet alone (NHANES data, USDA).
Modern soil is depleted. Modern stress burns through magnesium faster. Caffeine, alcohol, and processed food drain it daily. And magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in your body — so when you're low, you don't get one dramatic symptom. You get a dozen small ones that you write off as "just life."
Sound familiar?
- Waking up tired even after 8 hours
- Tight shoulders, calf cramps at night, twitching eyelids
- Anxiety that doesn't have a clear cause
- Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Mid-afternoon energy crashes
- Constipation that comes and goes
- Tension headaches
- "Wired but tired" — heart racing, mind racing
These aren't separate problems. They're often the same problem.
But here's the catch: taking the wrong magnesium won't fix it. A poorly absorbed form, a buffered one, or a contaminated one — none of those move the needle. The form matters. The purity matters. The honesty of the label matters.
What changes when you actually absorb it.
Real form. Real dose. Real outcomes.
Deeper, more restorative sleep
Magnesium glycinate activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the "rest and digest" mode your body needs to fall asleep and stay there. Glycine itself adds a calming effect on the brain. Most customers notice deeper sleep within a week.
Calmer days, fewer "wired" moments
Magnesium regulates cortisol and supports GABA — the neurotransmitter that quiets a racing mind. Low magnesium and high stress feed each other in a loop. Restoring it is one of the most overlooked first steps to feeling steady again.
Less tension, fewer cramps
Your muscles need magnesium to relax. When you're low, they don't — that's the science behind night-time calf cramps, tight jaw, twitching eyelids. Restore magnesium, restore relaxation.
Steady energy without the crash
Magnesium is the cofactor for ATP — the energy currency of every cell. Without enough, your mitochondria can't produce energy efficiently. This isn't caffeine energy. It's the baseline kind.
Healthy heart rhythm support
Magnesium supports the electrical signaling of the heart and healthy blood pressure already within normal range. Cardiologists have called it "the forgotten mineral" for cardiovascular health.
Your magnesium reset, what to expect.
Our Magnesium Glycinate is designed to restore what your body has been missing — not mask symptoms with a quick fix. Here's how your body begins to change once you start taking it daily
-
First signs of calm
Falling asleep gets easier. The day-end muscle tension you'd stopped noticing starts to lift. Subtle, but you can feel something shifting.
Week 1 -
Sleep deepens
You're sleeping through the night more consistently and waking up actually rested — not just on time. The afternoon energy crashes start to flatten out.
Week 2 -
Body catches up
Cramps and twitches fade. Mood feels steadier. The "wired but tired" feeling — racing mind at night, hard to wind down — quiets down. You stop reaching for a second coffee.
Month 1 -
New baseline
Sleep is consistently restorative. Stress doesn't hit as hard. Energy is steady, not spiky. You don't think about magnesium anymore — your body just runs the way it was supposed to.

FAQ
How is your magnesium different?
How is your magnesium different?
Two main differences. First, our magnesium is single-form glycinate from Zechstein-sourced raw material — most drugstore brands use synthesized magnesium from industrial sources, often buffered with cheap oxide. Second, our label tells the truth about elemental content. Multiply our total compound weight by 0.14 and you'll get exactly the elemental number we advertise. Try that math on most drugstore brands — it doesn't work.
What does "no buffering" actually mean?
What does "no buffering" actually mean?
"Buffering" is when brands mix cheap magnesium oxide into a glycinate product to inflate the elemental magnesium count. Oxide is around 60% elemental by weight, but only ~4% absorbed. So the label looks impressive while most of the magnesium passes through your gut unused. Our formula contains only glycinate. No oxide. No filler magnesium.
Why does the magnesium source matter?
Why does the magnesium source matter?
Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium have accumulated in soil, water, and minerals across the planet since the Industrial Revolution. The Zechstein seabed in Northern Europe was sealed under bedrock 250 million years ago — long before any industrial activity. Magnesium extracted from it tests free of the contamination found in most modern sources. It's widely considered the purest magnesium source available.
Will this cause diarrhea or upset my stomach?
Will this cause diarrhea or upset my stomach?
Very unlikely. Magnesium glycinate is specifically known for being the gentlest form on the stomach — unlike cheap magnesium oxide or citrate, which are notorious for causing bloating and loose stools. Our formula is led by glycinate for this exact reason. If you've had bad experiences with other magnesium supplements, this is the form for you.
Can I see your heavy metals test results?
Can I see your heavy metals test results?
Yes. Email support@trybearlabs.com with the batch number printed on your bottle and we'll send you the Certificate of Analysis for that specific batch.
When should I take it?
When should I take it?
Most people take 3 capsules in the evening, 30–60 minutes before bed, as magnesium supports relaxation and sleep. It can be taken with or without food.
How long until I notice a difference?
How long until I notice a difference?
Most customers report noticeable changes in sleep and muscle tension within 7–14 days. Deeper restoration (consistent sleep, steadier mood, fewer cramps) typically settles by week 3–4. Magnesium works through cumulative replenishment, not as a same-day effect.
Is it safe to take with other medications?
Is it safe to take with other medications?
Magnesium can interact with certain medications, particularly antibiotics(take 2 hours before or 4–6 hours after), thyroid medication(separate by 4+ hours), and blood pressure drugs. Most interactions are managed through timing, not avoidance. If you're on prescription medication, we recommend consulting your doctor before starting — just to be safe
What's the difference between glycinate, citrate, oxide, and other forms?
What's the difference between glycinate, citrate, oxide, and other forms?
Glycinate is among the most bioavailable forms and gentle on the digestive system. Citrate has a mild laxative effect and is sometimes used for that. Oxide is poorly absorbed (~4%) and is mostly used by brands trying to make cheap products look stronger on the label. Threonate, malate, and taurate each have specific use cases, but glycinate is the most well-rounded choice for sleep, stress, and general repletion.
How do I know if I'm even deficient?
How do I know if I'm even deficient?
Standard blood tests are unreliable — only 1% of your magnesium is in the blood, so "normal" results don't mean much. Better indicators: frequent muscle cramps or twitches, poor sleep, restless legs, heightened stress or anxiety, chocolate cravings, and fatigue. Nearly half of all adults consume less magnesium than their body needs. If any of those sound familiar, there's a good chance you'd benefit from supplementing.
