View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial was to evaluate whether magnesium citrate supplementation improved sleep quality and cognitive function in healthy Saudi adults. It also assessed the effects of magnesium on selected blood markers. The main questions it aimed to answer were: Did magnesium supplementation improve sleep quality? Did magnesium supplementation improve cognitive function? Researchers compared participants who received magnesium citrate to a control group that did not receive any intervention to evaluate its effects. Participants: Took magnesium citrate (400 mg daily) for 90 days (two capsules: one in the afternoon and one 1-2 hours before bedtime) Visited Umm Al-Qura University twice (before and after the intervention) for: Sleep quality assessment Cognitive function assessment Blood sample collection to measure serum magnesium and HbA1c The control group did not receive any supplementation during the study period.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Magnesium 400Mg

Magnesium supplementation was administered to eligible participants using magnesium citrate tablets (Solgar®, USA), a highly bioavailable form commonly used in research. The supplements were purchased from Al Nahdi Pharmacy (Saudi Arabia) and selected based on previous studies demonstrating good absorption and effectiveness. Participants received a total daily dose of 400 mg elemental magnesium. Eligible participants were instructed to take the supplement for 90 days, divided into two doses: one in the afternoon and one 1-2 hours before bedtime. The supplement was provided in bottles containing 120 tablets. Participants were asked to maintain their usual diet and lifestyle. Compliance was monitored using participant diaries and by counting remaining capsules returned at the follow-up visit.
