Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Magnesium taurate is a compound consisting of magnesium and taurine. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous physiological processes, including nerve function, muscle relaxation, and regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. Taurine is an amino acid that may have calming effects on the nervous system. There is scientific interest in magnesium supplementation for insomnia, as magnesium deficiency has been associated with poor sleep quality, and some studies have shown improvements in insomnia symptoms with magnesium supplementation. However, the clinical evidence specifically for magnesium taurate is limited.

A few small studies and animal research suggest that magnesium supplementation can improve aspects of sleep, including sleep efficiency and onset latency, particularly in older adults or people with low magnesium status. Taurine, meanwhile, has demonstrated some anxiolytic and sedative-like properties in animal models, potentially supporting sleep, but human data are sparse. No high-quality randomized controlled trials have examined magnesium taurate (the combination) for insomnia in humans.

In summary, magnesium taurate use for insomnia is based on a combination of the known physiological roles of magnesium and taurine, and some preliminary evidence for magnesium (in general) supporting sleep. However, direct high-quality evidence for magnesium taurate's efficacy for insomnia is lacking, so scientific support is limited.
