The best magnesium supplements for women, tried and tested.

This magnesium supplement from Higher Nature is from a marine source and designed to be gentle on the stomach. It comes in a 90 capsule pack, is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and can also be bought on a subscription basis.

Our review: I've been taking this magnesium supplement for over 2 months now and I can definitely notice a very welcome change in my sleep and energy levels. I go to sleep much quicker - I feel tired but not drained, just naturally sleepy. And that's at the same time more or less every day. I have also been waking up at about the same time every day, and I feel refreshed.

Before, I had trouble switching off to sleep and would wake up frequently even if only for a minute. It's like my sleep is better quality, somehow. I think because of this, or maybe because of the magnesium itself, I've got much more steady energy levels through the day. I do get a little after lunch slump still but nowhere near as bad as I did have.

The tablets are easy to swallow and one a day is easy to remember. I don't know why I didn't start taking these long ago! I am so pleased I tested them and will definitely carry on.

These sugar free magnesium gummies are raspberry flavour, and provide 120mg magnesium per serving. They're gummies, so you chew 2 every day.

Our review: I really enjoyed taking these as it's like having 2 little sweet treats every morning! The teddy bear shape is also cute.
The magnesium helped my energy levels, though I wonder if the dose would be strong enough as my menopause symptoms progress. I usually sleep 6-7 hours a night, and I did notice I was sleeping longer. I felt more regulated in my sleep and energy levels, and had a bit more get up and go. I noticed a reduction in my joint aches but that had worn off by afternoon after taking these first thing.

Our review: "I have been taking this supplement for a few weeks and have already seen improvements in my sleep. As someone with a sensitive stomach, I was wary of taking the four large capsules daily. It hasn't affected my stomach in any way. I have also emptied the powder of the capsules into water to make it easier to ingest."
