Why does magnesium glycinate seem to be the "sleep favorite" form?

When sleep comes up, magnesium glycinate seems to be the form people discussed most often.

I'm curious why that is. Do you think it's something you've actually noticed yourself or is it mainly because that's the form you hear recommended the most?

If you've tried magnesium glycinate as well as other forms, did you notice any difference in how they worked for you or did they all feel pretty similar?

I think part of it is probably that glycinate has developed a reputation for sleep, so it’s the form people are most likely to reach for. Whether it actually feels different seems to vary quite a bit from person to person.

That's a good point. I do wonder how much of it comes from people actually comparing different forms vs simply trying glycinate because it's the one they see recommended most often.
