What Organika Magnesium + Melatonin is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80143386. The licence lists five recommended uses:

• Used as a sleep aid to help promote sleep.
• Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep in people who fall asleep slowly.
• Helps to re-set the body's sleep-wake cycle.
• Helps to temporarily promote relaxation.
• Helps to maintain normal muscle function.

Three ingredients, one bedtime capsule

Melatonin is the hormone your body releases as it gets dark, the signal that tells you it is time to sleep. Each capsule provides 2.5 mg. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that works as a messenger in the nervous system, at 100 mg per capsule. The magnesium comes from magnesium bisglycinate, a chelated form bound to glycine, together with magnesium oxide, for 125 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule.

Taking the three together means one product on your nightstand instead of three. The capsule shell is plant-based hypromellose, and the only other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable-source magnesium stearate.

How it fits with Organika's other magnesium

Organika's plain Magnesium Bisglycinate is the everyday, any-time-of-day option. This formula is the evening version: less magnesium per capsule, with melatonin and GABA added, and a dose timed to bedtime. If you only want magnesium, choose the plain bisglycinate. If falling asleep is the issue, this is the one built for it.

How to take it

Adults 19 and over take 1 to 2 capsules once a day, as needed, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Avoid driving or using machinery for 5 hours afterwards, and avoid alcohol or other products that cause drowsiness. The full label cautions are under How to Take, including the medications to check with a practitioner about. It is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
