Could a magnesium pill be the key to better sleep for women?
NCT ID NCT07708857
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a magnesium supplement called Magnesium Breakthrough can improve sleep quality and mood in women ages 35 to 60 who have poor sleep but no diagnosed sleep disorder. Participants take the supplement for two weeks and a placebo for two weeks, in random order, without knowing which is which. Sleep is tracked with a wearable ring and daily questionnaires, all done remotely from home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a magnesium supplement blend called Magnesium Breakthrough
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-prescription option for improving sleep and mood in women with poor sleep.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants and a short 2-week treatment period, so results may not apply broadly or show a clear benefit.
