NOW Foods Magtein® Calm
Description
NOW Magtein® Calm combines Magtein, NOW's patented form of magnesium, with ashwagandha, L-theanine, 5-HTP, and GABA, for adults who want a multi-ingredient formula built around relaxation and a calm mood.
Each ingredient in this blend is associated with everyday calm and stress support, so NOW combines them into one late-day formula rather than requiring several separate supplements.
Each 2 capsule serving supplies 72 mg of elemental magnesium (17% Daily Value) from Magtein, along with 200 mg of ashwagandha extract, 100 mg of L-theanine, 100 mg of 5-HTP, and 100 mg of GABA. The 60 count bottle provides 30 servings.
Take 2 capsules daily, preferably later in the day. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility. Because this formula includes 5-HTP and may cause drowsiness, avoid activities that require full alertness after taking it, and do not take it if you are pregnant or nursing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Magtein Calm different from NOW's plain Magtein capsules?
Plain Magtein capsules deliver magnesium L-threonate alone. Magtein Calm uses a lower dose of that same Magtein magnesium and adds ashwagandha, L-theanine, 5-HTP, and GABA, so it is built around relaxation and mood support rather than magnesium alone.
When should I take it?
NOW's suggested use is to take it later in the day, which fits a formula meant to support relaxation and calm.
Will this make me drowsy?
It may. NOW's warning notes this product may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or other activities that require full alertness until you know how it affects you.
Who should not take Magtein Calm?
This product is for adults only and is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. Anyone taking medication, especially thyroid hormones, or managing a medical condition, should consult a physician before use.
Can I take this with other magnesium supplements?
NOW does not state a specific interaction warning for combining this with other magnesium products, but each 2 capsule serving already supplies magnesium along with several other active ingredients, so check with a physician before stacking it with additional supplements.
