Magnesium for Sleep and Beetroot Juice for Blood Pressure: Two Clinical Trials
Share
These selected trials reported a benefit for a specific outcome. They do not represent the full body of evidence. Both topics are mentioned in our founder’s story.
Magnesium glycinate: a modest sleep benefit
A 2025 double-blind randomized trial enrolled 155 adults who reported poor sleep. After four weeks, self-reported insomnia severity scores fell by 3.9 points in the magnesium bisglycinate group and 2.3 points in the placebo group. The additional improvement was modest: 1.6 points. The study measured sleep symptoms and did not assess blood pressure. Read the full trial.
Beetroot juice and blood pressure
In a four-week randomized trial, adults with high blood pressure who drank nitrate-rich beetroot juice had lower blood pressure than those who drank nitrate-depleted beetroot juice. The trial tested beetroot juice on its own and did not evaluate the founder’s full routine. Read the trial.
These studies do not establish that the founder’s routine lowers blood pressure or that changes should appear after six months.
