What the research supports
One scoop gives 250 mg magnesium and 75 mg L-theanine in a raspberry lemonade drink. The 133 g tub is 30 scoops, a month supply.
Magnesium trials use 200 to 350 mg a day.
- Sleep (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial)
- Magnesium is a cofactor for the enzymes that quiet nerve signalling and let muscles relax at night. At 200 to 350 mg it has shortened time to fall asleep in adults who started low.
- Calm (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial)
- L-theanine raises calming alpha brain wave activity without sedation, lowering self-rated stress during tense tasks. The trials showing this use 100 to 200 mg, above the 75 mg in one scoop.
- Muscle cramps (evidence: mixed, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Muscles need magnesium to relax after they contract, so a shortfall can leave them tense and prone to cramping. Repletion helps mainly in people whose intake was already low; well-supplied adults see little change.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Someone who will not swallow more capsules
- 250 mg of magnesium in a single 4.4 g scoop is a full day's mineral dose in one glass of water, where capsules would take three or four.
- Evening wind-down after a wired day
- The bisglycinate share is the form usually chosen for evening dosing, and 75 mg of L-theanine takes some edge off within about 40 minutes.
- Cramping calves or twitching eyelids
- At 250 mg this reaches the intake level where magnesium repletion actually changes muscle cramping, rather than a token 50 mg.
Look elsewhere if
- Someone buying it mainly for the GABA
- 50 mg is a fraction of the 100 to 800 mg used in trials, and oral GABA reaches the brain poorly at any dose. A standalone L-theanine at 200 mg is a better use of the money.
- Anyone who wants magnesium to move their bowels
- citrate on its own at a higher dose, or oxide, since a bisglycinate-led blend at 250 mg is absorbed too well to have much laxative pull.
- People avoiding fruit sugars and stevia
- a plain magnesium bisglycinate capsule, since this one is built around citric acid, fructose and stevia leaf extract to carry the flavour.
What to expect
The theanine part is same-evening: a mild settling within roughly 30 to 60 minutes, not a knockout. The magnesium part is cumulative, so cramping, twitching and general evening restlessness usually take two to four weeks of daily scoops to shift, and only if your intake was low to begin with.
How it compares
- Compared with plain magnesium bisglycinate capsules
- The same class of magnesium arrives dissolved, so it clears the stomach faster than three or four capsules, and you get 75 mg of theanine you would otherwise buy separately. The tradeoff: You pay for a flavour system, the bisglycinate-to-citrate split is not broken out, and the citrate share makes it slightly looser on the gut than a 100 percent bisglycinate product.
