Two supplements. Two clinical trials. One company that does the research.

Magnesium is crucial for over 300 processes in your body — from energy production and muscle recovery, to sleep quality and stress response. Yet most Americans don’t get enough. In fact, in a peer-reviewed clinical trial published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, more than 75% of participants showed suboptimal magnesium levels before the study began.

Those who took Jigsaw MagSRT®— a time-release magnesium malate tablet — saw magnesium rise 30% over 90 days, and deficiency symptoms drop by 63%. Remarkable results, backed by real science!

For sleep and recovery, Jigsaw MagSoothe® delivers! In a 4-week clinical trial, participants saw a 17% improvement in sleep quality, felt 34% less stressed, and rated their satisfaction 85 out of 100. 82% said they’d buy it again. 

MagSRT® for daily magnesium replenishment. MagSoothe® for calm, restorative sleep.
