51p-a-day supplement 'changed life' for sleep-starved users

New Nordic's Magic Magnesium™ Glycinate supplement, which costs as little as 51p a day, has been hailed 'life changing' by shoppers who say they've 'not experienced such a deep and wonderful sleep in years'. The product contains 240 mg of elemental magnesium per dose, along with vitamins D, B and French maritime pine bark.

What the supplement contains

Magnesium is an essential mineral that contributes to normal muscle function, normal nervous system functioning and a normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also helps with the maintenance of normal bones and contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Its effectiveness on sleep is well studied, with scientists researching how it can help with treating sleep disorders.

The product also contains French maritime pine bark, which according to the brand 'improves microcirculation' and has been sourced from the Larnes Forest near Bordeaux, France.

Customer reviews

On the retailer's website, the tablets have three five-star reviews. One reads: "I've been looking for a form of magnesium that doesn't upset my stomach. A doctor recommended the glycinate form and I've had no problems with stomach problems since starting to take this. Can recommend."

Another reviewer said: "Struggled to sleep for over 20 years, taking these have been life changing. There are some occasions where I may wake up early, but not too often, but now most nights I go to sleep straight away."

On Amazon, one user commented: "Hello dreams. I don't sleep more but I finally feel like I have REM sleep." Another wrote: "Great product. I have slept really well since taking the magnesium glycinate, and find the pins and needles in my legs have almost disappeared."

It did not work for every user, with one person saying: "Hasn't worked for me so far, I've not seen an improvement in sleep or any added benefits to my health." Despite this, someone else commented: "Truly magic. Taking for a week and noticeable difference in my sleep quality - great stuff!" Another said: "This supplement really helped me get my sleep in order. I sleep deeply and feel well-rested. I'll definitely continue using it."

Someone else simply commented: "The best one on the market." A further review reads: "It works. One in the morning and one about 4 hours before bed. I've not experienced such a deep and wonderful sleep in years!"
