Why a second dose?
Because the wake-up happens around six hours after bedtime, and what you swallow at 9 PM is not at its peak at 3am; melatonin, for example, has a published half-life of about 45 minutes. The industry’s answer is a second layer inside the tablet, a guess made six hours early.
Ours is a second dose you take only if the night asks for it, measured on the half line, with the whole night staying under the 350 mg supplemental limit.
What’s in every dose
150 mg of elemental magnesium, from about 1,060 mg of magnesium bisglycinate. About 0.9 g of glycine, from the bisglycinate chelate. Vitamin B6, with the exact amount printed on the Supplement Facts panel. Natural, sugar-free sweetener and flavor.
How to take it
One full cap line (10 mL) at bedtime, straight or in a splash of water. The fill line is the whole instruction.
If your eyes snap open at 3:15, wide awake, take the half line: 75 mg, a teaspoon’s worth. Bottle on the nightstand, no light, no glass required.
Never more than one full plus one half dose in a night: 225 mg, under the 350 mg supplemental limit. Keep it two hours apart from osteoporosis medication or antibiotics. If you have kidney disease, talk to your doctor first.
What it tastes like
Like the ocean. Not the pretty part: the mineral part, the way the air tastes on a beach before the sun comes up. It is saline and slightly bitter, and it is over in one swallow.
That much real mineral in that little liquid tastes like mineral. We would rather you taste the dose than taste the flavoring. Keep a glass of water on the nightstand and chase it.
The 90-Night Trial
Ninety nights from the day it arrives. If it did not work, if it upset your stomach, if you hated the taste, if you changed your mind: one email, full refund, and the bottle stays with you. No form, no return shipping, no questions about how much is left.

The first run
This first run is 250 bottles.
Each one carries a lot number that matches the assay published here the day that lot ships. When the run sells out, the next lot ships when its own assay is back, about six to eight weeks later.
If 3am is not a problem you want to keep for another two months, the 3-pack is here today.

The 14% Trap
Here is the math nobody prints.
The number on the front is the weight of the molecule. The number that works is the elemental magnesium, and it lives in small print on the back, if it is printed at all.
14%
Magnesium bisglycinate is about 14% magnesium by weight. The other 86% is glycine, the amino acid the mineral rides in on.
56 mg
What a “400 mg” gummy works out to, in magnesium that counts.
Calculated at 14.1%, the share of magnesium in magnesium bisglycinate.
One night, two halves
It’s 3:07. Again.

The 9 PM bet
Every sleep aid you have ever tried was a bet placed at 9 PM, six hours before the problem happens.
Melatonin peaks in about an hour and has a half-life of about 45 minutes. By 2am, less than 2% of the peak is left.
The night has two halves
Their answer is a guess. Ours is a dose.
The second dose
One cap. Two lines.
150 mg
The full line at bedtime. Elemental magnesium, printed on the front.

Before 3AM Drops
What people said about the magnesium they tried before.
The pills
“The tablets are huge. Almost impossible to swallow.”
What changesOne measured dose, ten seconds, no choking, no size-00 capsules, nothing to cut in half.
The math
“I have to take 2 to get the 300 mg daily.”
What changesElemental milligrams on the front, compound in parentheses on the panel, one dose equals one number.
The glycine
“Look into glycine. When I take it, I am able to fall back asleep quickly after waking up at night.”
What changesThe glycine comes along, just under a gram in every bedtime dose, the amino acid with its own sleep research.

Check your bottle
The same math, applied to the shelf.
Go get the bottle in your drawer. Turn it around, find the Supplement Facts panel, and look for the word “elemental.” If it is not there, multiply the front number by 0.14. That is what you have been taking.
| Compared | 3AM Drops | A “400 mg” gummy | A “2,000 mg” nootropic |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the front says | 150 mg elemental | 400 mg | 2,000 mg |
| Magnesium that counts | 150 mg | about 56 mg | 145 mg |
| Per serving | One cap line | 2 gummies | 3 capsules |
| Elemental on the front | |||
| A measured dose for 3 AM |
Elemental figures come from each product’s Supplement Facts panel, or are calculated at 14.1% when only the compound weight is printed.

Why it exists
“Our mothers had not failed magnesium. They had been sold a number that was not the number.”
Our mothers are the reason this exists. Two of them, in two different cities in Brazil, both waking up somewhere around three in the morning, both for years. They had both tried magnesium. There was a bottle in each drawer.
The night we finally turned those bottles around and read the panels, neither printed the word “elemental.” One was delivering about 56 mg a night.
So we went and made the bottle we wanted them to have: the real figure on the front, and a second measured dose for the hour that was actually waking them up. It tastes like the sea, and we decided we would rather explain that than dilute it.

Before you buy
The questions that decide it
150 mg at bedtime. 75 mg at 3am, if the night asks. Declared on the front, every lot tested.
Start My 90-Night TrialCharged once. Nothing renews.
I’ve tried magnesium glycinate for the 3am wake-ups. It did nothing, or it gave me nightmares.
Check the old bottle. If the front says “400 mg” or “500 mg” and the panel does not say “elemental,” you took about 14% of that number, 56 to 70 mg, a fraction of any studied dose. That is the usual reason “it did nothing.”
The nightmares are real for a small minority, usually at full dose on an empty stomach; the 3AM Protocol starts you at a half dose, with food, for three nights.
Why only 150 mg when the study used 250?
Because 150 mg is what fits in a bottle without lying on the front. Magnesium bisglycinate dissolves at 10 to 15 mg of elemental magnesium per mL, so a real 150 mg is already a 10 mL line; brands printing “400 mg” or “500 mg” on a tiny dropper are printing the weight of the molecule, or a number that physically cannot fit.
Take the half line at 3am and your night adds up to 225 mg, every milligram measured and real.
Sounds too good to be true for a $45 bottle.
If you “rolled my eyes every time someone in here said magnesium changed their life,” good. It is not a medicine. It does not replace hormones or medication, and it does not work for everyone. The research behind it is modest, not miraculous.
What it does is give you a real, honestly labeled dose, in a form you can take at 3am, with 90 nights to find out. If it is not your answer, you keep the bottle and your money.
Will it upset my stomach?
Bisglycinate is the form chosen because it does not pull water into the gut the way citrate and oxide do. The “serious diarrhea the next morning” reviews belong to citrate powders. No citrate, no oxide in 3AM Drops.
I take blood pressure, thyroid, or osteoporosis medication. Is it safe?
Ask your pharmacist; we are not your doctor. The known interactions are about timing: keep magnesium two hours away from osteoporosis medication and certain antibiotics, and mention it if you take a diuretic. A night dose usually spaces itself from morning medications. If you have kidney disease, talk to your doctor before any magnesium supplement.
Isn’t this just menopause? Won’t I have to live with it?
One woman in our research put it this way: “It is so pronounced, I sometimes wonder if I’m losing my mind.” You are not, and you are not exaggerating. Waking at 3am wired is one of the most common complaints in the years around menopause, and being told to try yoga and drink less wine is not an answer.
Magnesium does not change your hormones; that is a conversation for your doctor. It gives the part of your nervous system that acts as the brake the mineral it runs on, at a real dose, alongside whatever your doctor prescribes.
Will a liquid before bed make me get up to pee?
One dose is a sip, not a glass. If you already get up twice a night to pee, some of those wake-ups are the bladder, not the brain. The tell: waking with the urge is the bladder; eyes snapping open with a racing mind and no urge is the wake-up this dose was made for.
Why $45 when the drugstore bottle is $17?
Count real milligrams. A bottle holds thirty 150 mg bedtime doses plus about ten 75 mg half doses: 5,250 mg of elemental magnesium, about $0.009 per milligram. A $20 bottle of “400 mg” gummies delivers about 1,680 mg a month, about $0.012 per milligram, and never gets past 56 mg a night. The cheaper bottle costs more per milligram that counts.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
That is what the 90-Night Trial is for. Email us, we refund every penny, you keep the bottle.
When will it arrive?
Every order ships from our warehouse in the US and arrives in about 5 business days. You get a tracking link by email the day it leaves. The 90 nights start counting the day it arrives, not the day you order.
What happens when the first run sells out?
Lot 001 is 250 numbered bottles. When it is gone, the next lot is made, sent to the independent lab, and only ships once its own assay is published here. That takes about 6 to 8 weeks. If you want to start now, this lot is the one that ships now.
