“RESTFUL SLEEP: Sports Research Magnesium Glycinate promotes restful sleep by stimulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)—an essential…”
Evidence →Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label states 160 mg/serving — about 38% of the adult daily reference (adult RDA 310–420 mg elemental; NIH sets 350 mg/day as the supplemental upper level for elemental magnesium). A single serving isn’t meant to supply a full day, so this is context, not a shortfall. Caveat: chelate labels (glycinate, citrate) often state compound mass, which reads ~5–7× higher than elemental magnesium — the Supplement Facts panel settles which is meant.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

“Party Tested”
Evidence →No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. A related brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report; its UPC is not published. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.
We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

Reviews rose from 60 to 115 between July 7, 2025 and July 31, 2026 — no sudden jump.
A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Evidence and sources
Written reviews rose from 60 to 115 between July 7, 2025 and July 31, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 9, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 160 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits below that range.
0studied 200 mg–420 mg
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
