Bottle of Duerme Mejor magnesium glycinate by Fasting For You, 90 capsules

Magnesium glycinate for sleepSleep through 3 a.m., wake up rested

Duerme Mejor, Spanish for “sleep better,” is magnesium glycinate to take at night. It was created by Amarilis Marcano, an intermittent fasting coach, for women who end the day exhausted and still have a hard time falling asleep.

  • Helps you relax and let go of the day so you fall asleep faster
  • Glycinate: gentle on the stomach, without the laxative effect of drugstore magnesium
  • Not a sedative and not habit-forming: you wake up rested, not groggy
  • Sugar-free capsules: won't break your fast
  • Made for women, including during perimenopause and menopause

Sound familiar?

  • You go to bed exhausted and your mind starts racing.
  • You wake up at 3 a.m. and can't get back to sleep.
  • The next day: coffee, a bad mood and zero patience.
  • You tried melatonin, chamomile tea, drugstore magnesium… and nothing.

It's not that you're doing something wrong. Today's diet leaves many people short on magnesium, a mineral involved in muscle relaxation and normal nervous system function.

The form matters

Why the magnesium you tried didn't work for you

Magnesium comes in several forms, and they don't all do the same thing. The one in the bottle changes everything:

  • Magnesium oxide

    The drugstore kind

    Cheap, but poorly absorbed and tends to have a laxative effect. That's why it “did nothing” or sent you running to the bathroom.

  • Magnesium citrate

    Better absorbed, but it also has a strong laxative effect.

  • Magnesium glycinate

    Duerme Mejor

    Magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid associated with calm. It's well absorbed, gentle on the stomach and doesn't have the laxative effect of the others. It's the form people choose for nighttime.

What about melatonin?

It's a hormone that tells your body when to sleep. Magnesium helps make it possible for your body to relax. They're two different things.

Is magnesium right for you?

Amarilis explains it in one minute: what magnesium does, why it comes up so often around menopause and how to tell if it's right for you. The video is in Spanish.

  • 90 capsules per bottle: 30 nights.

How to take it

3 capsules once a day, with a glass of water. For your nights, take them as part of your bedtime routine.

It's for you if…

  • you end the day with a tense body and a racing mind
  • you're in perimenopause or menopause and your nights have changed
  • you tried another magnesium and it upset your stomach
  • you want gentle support at night that won't leave you groggy the next day
  • you do intermittent fasting and don't want to break your fast: magnesium doesn't break it

During perimenopause and menopause, sleep often changes: it gets harder to fall asleep and you wake up in the early hours. Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function and muscle relaxation: a simple way to take care of your nights during this stage.

If you're on hormone therapy or take medications, check with your doctor first.

Our story

Who's behind Duerme Mejor

I'm Amarilis Marcano, an intermittent fasting coach and the creator of the Fasting For You app. I help Hispanic women eat better and have more energy, and there's one complaint I hear again and again: “Amarilis, everything's going well… but I can't sleep.”

I went through the same thing. What changed my nights was magnesium glycinate, and I wanted my own: clean, with 275 mg per serving and in a form that's gentle on the stomach. That's how Duerme Mejor was born, and it's the one I take every night.

With love,
Amarilis Marcano

What people ask us most

How soon will I notice a difference?

Every body is different. Some women notice a difference in the first few nights; for others it takes two or three weeks of consistent use. That's why we recommend the 90-day routine.

What if I already tried magnesium and it did nothing?

The form and the dose matter. Drugstore magnesium is usually magnesium oxide: it's poorly absorbed and tends to have a laxative effect. Duerme Mejor is glycinate, a form that's well absorbed and gentle on the stomach, with 275 mg of elemental magnesium per serving.

Is it habit-forming, or will it leave me groggy?

No. Magnesium is a mineral your body uses every day, not a sedative or a hormone. It isn't habit-forming, it won't leave you foggy in the morning, and you can stop taking it whenever you want.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You have the 30-night guarantee. Add Duerme Mejor to your supplement kit in the Fasting For You app (free to start) and check it off every night for 30 nights. If you don't notice a difference at the end, email soporte@fastingforyou.app with your log from the app and we'll refund your money. If you bought the 3-bottle routine, the guarantee covers your first 30 nights and we refund the full order. You don't need to send the product back.

How much does it cost?

$29.99 for a 90-capsule bottle (30 days), or $79.97 for the 90-day routine (3 bottles): under $0.90 a night. Shipping is free to the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Do you ship to Puerto Rico?

Yes. We ship to Puerto Rico and the United States. Shipping is free.

How will I know when my order is coming?

When you pay, you'll get a confirmation email. When your order ships, you'll get another one with the tracking number so you can follow it.

Where can I buy it?

Right here, at the top of this page: $29.99 for one bottle, $79.97 for 3 bottles, with free shipping. Pay with Apple Pay, Shop Pay or card.

Can I take it with melatonin or my medications?

Magnesium is a mineral, not a medication, but every case is different. If you take melatonin or another sleep supplement, take medications, have a kidney condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor first.

What is magnesium glycinate?

It's magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid. It tends to be easier on the stomach than magnesium oxide or citrate, which have a stronger laxative effect, and it's well tolerated on an empty stomach. That's why it's the form most people choose to take at night.

What is Duerme Mejor?

It's the Fasting For You magnesium glycinate, under its own name: 275 mg of elemental magnesium per 3-capsule serving, in a 90-capsule bottle that lasts 30 days. Vegan and gluten-free.

What's the best magnesium for sleep?

For taking at night, the form most people choose is magnesium glycinate: it tends to be easier on the stomach than oxide or citrate, which have a stronger laxative effect. Also check how much elemental magnesium each serving has. Duerme Mejor has 275 mg as glycinate, below the NIH's limit of 350 mg a day.

Does magnesium break an intermittent fast?

No. Magnesium is a mineral: it has no calories, protein, fat or carbs, so it doesn't trigger an insulin response or take your body out of the fasted state. The glycinate form is also one of the best tolerated on an empty stomach.

Can I take magnesium glycinate during menopause?

Yes, many women add it to their routine at this stage. Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function and muscle relaxation, and glycinate is well tolerated on an empty stomach. It doesn't replace any treatment: if you're on hormone therapy or take medications, check with your doctor first.

When should I take it?

The suggested serving is 3 capsules once a day. Many people take it at night as part of their bedtime routine, but you can adjust it to what your healthcare provider recommends.

How much magnesium can I take a day?

The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommend that adults not go over 350 mg a day of magnesium from supplements unless a doctor says otherwise. One serving of Duerme Mejor has 275 mg.

Does it have side effects?

Magnesium glycinate is usually well tolerated. In high doses, any magnesium supplement can cause an upset stomach or diarrhea, so it's best not to go over the suggested serving. If you have kidney problems, are pregnant or take medications, check with your doctor first.

Is it vegan and gluten-free?

Yes. The other ingredients are hypromellose (vegetable capsule), magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and rice flour. Gluten-free and non-GMO.
