200mg of elemental magnesium from pure, non-buffered glycinate. Gentle on the stomach and made for the quiet end to a full day. Nurse-founded, women-owned.
Pure magnesium glycinate made with Chelamax minerals from the Dead Sea, chelated in the USA for absorption. Three capsules with your wind-down, the quiet end to a full day. No fillers, no shortcuts, third-party tested.
Chelamax non-buffered magnesium bisglycinate (200mg elemental magnesium per serving), tapioca starch, HPMC vegan capsule. That is the whole list.
Take 3 capsules with water, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Magnesium works best as a nightly habit, so same time each evening beats a perfect dose taken sometimes.
Every batch is third-party tested by CTLA (Contract Testing Laboratories of America). Manufactured in the USA in a GMP-certified facility.
One small habit, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. That's the whole routine.
Take three capsules with a little water, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. That's 200mg of elemental magnesium, ready to go.
Dim the lights, set the phone down, and let the day come to a close. Because it's pure glycinate, it stays gentle on your stomach.
Make it a nightly habit. Consistency is what lets your ritual take hold, one calm evening at a time.
This is a ritual, not a quick fix. Here is how it tends to unfold.
The ritual takes hold. Three capsules with your wind-down, same time each night.
Evenings start to feel like a routine you look forward to. Consistency is the whole game.
Magnesium works best when it is a nightly habit. This is when the ritual feels non-negotiable.
Read the label. If it says "buffered," the bottle is padded out with poorly absorbed magnesium oxide, the cheap stuff that can leave your stomach upset and your money wasted. NO. 04 is the real thing: 100% non-buffered magnesium bisglycinate (Chelamax), the form your body actually absorbs.
Every serving delivers 200mg of elemental magnesium from 1,700mg of bisglycinate. Besides the magnesium itself, the only other ingredients are tapioca starch and the vegan capsule. A two-ingredient capsule. Nothing else. Third-party tested, with the Certificate of Analysis published openly.
Hi, I'm Skotie. As a nurse, I read labels for a living. So when I went looking for a magnesium worth taking every single night, I was floored by how many "glycinate" bottles were quietly padded with magnesium oxide, the cheap stuff that barely absorbs and is rough on your stomach.
I wanted one I could hand a patient, a friend, my own mom, without a single asterisk to explain away. So we made it. Pure, non-buffered bisglycinate. Tested. Published. Nothing I would not take myself. NO. 04 is the magnesium I wish had existed years ago, and I hope it gives you the calm evenings it gave me.
The form on the label decides how well it absorbs and how it feels.
Walk down any supplement aisle and most bottles lean on magnesium oxide, the cheapest form there is. It absorbs poorly, and it is famous for upsetting stomachs. You pay for magnesium your body mostly never sees.
Even bottles labeled "glycinate" are often quietly "buffered," which means cut with oxide to pad the count and shrink the cost. The label looks premium. The capsule is not.
NO. 04 is 100% non-buffered magnesium bisglycinate. No oxide, no fillers hiding in the fine print. What the label says is what your body gets.

One small mineral, four quiet jobs it shows up for every night.
This mineral helps support a balanced stress response and a calm state of mind. Consider it the calm your evenings have been missing.
Magnesium supports healthy muscle relaxation and helps ease tightness and nighttime leg cramps. Especially welcome after long days on your feet.
Magnesium helps quiet a busy mind and supports your body's natural wind-down process. Many women notice they fall asleep more easily and wake up feeling more rested.
Magnesium plays a role in over 300 processes, from energy production to healthy bones and muscles. One small habit, a lot of quiet upside.
Our magnesium bisglycinate is Chelamax, sourced from the Dead Sea and refined in the USA. We chose it for two reasons: it absorbs better, and it stays gentle.
What these numbers mean: in a laboratory model of the upper digestive tract, researchers measured how much of each form's magnesium actually becomes available for the body to absorb. Chelamax bisglycinate delivered 64% of its magnesium, the leading chelated brand 47%, and standard magnesium oxide just 8%.*
*In vitro study of magnesium bioaccessibility and bioavailability, commissioned by Innophos, the manufacturer of Chelamax. Lab results are not a guarantee of individual outcomes.
Chelamax magnesium is sourced from the Dead Sea, some of the most mineral-rich waters on earth, then refined in the USA and bound to glycine. That chelation step is what lets your body actually absorb what you take.
Two ingredients beyond the capsule, and a long list of what we left out.
"Every other magnesium left my stomach in knots. This one finally doesn't, and I'm sleeping through the night."

"Knowing a nurse formulated it and the COA is right there on the site sold me. My shoulders aren't tight by 9pm anymore."

"Subscribed after the first bottle. It just shows up, I take three before bed, and my evenings feel calmer."
Verified BuyerTake three capsules with a little water, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. That delivers 200mg of elemental magnesium. You can also take it with an evening meal if you prefer. The one rule: same time, every night.
Oxide is the cheap form. It absorbs poorly and tends to upset the stomach. Citrate absorbs better but is often chosen for its laxative effect, which is not the evening you had in mind. Bisglycinate binds the mineral to glycine so it absorbs well and stays gentle. Ours is 100% non-buffered, never cut with oxide.
Magnesium is not a sedative and does not knock you out. It supports your body's natural wind-down, so the goal is calm evenings, not heavy mornings. Most women notice no next-day grogginess at all.
Three ingredients: magnesium bisglycinate (Chelamax), tapioca starch, and the vegan HPMC capsule itself. Non-GMO, third-party tested, and the Certificate of Analysis is published openly at raebasics.com/coa.
Think ritual, not quick fix. Weeks one and two are about locking in the habit. By month one, the nightly routine feels like yours. Magnesium does its best work when it is taken consistently over months, so stay with it.
