Product & Formula
What is Spectrum 5 Magnesium Complex? Spectrum 5 is SonoHealth’s 5-in-1 magnesium supplement. It contains five distinct forms of magnesium — glycinate, malate, citrate, oxide, and hydroxide — in a single serving of 500mg, manufactured in the USA in a GMP-certified facility. Why does Spectrum 5 contain five forms of magnesium? Different forms of magnesium are absorbed via different mechanisms and deliver magnesium to different tissues. Glycinate excels for calm and sleep; malate for energy and muscle; citrate for metabolism; oxide for high elemental Mg and migraines; hydroxide for digestion. Combining all five ensures comprehensive whole-body magnesium support that a single-form product cannot match. What is the serving size? 2 capsules per serving. Each bottle contains 60 capsules (30 servings). Is Spectrum 5 vegan? The capsule is made from hypromellose, a plant-derived cellulose. All ingredients are plant or mineral sourced. Spectrum 5 is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Is Spectrum 5 gluten-free? Yes. Spectrum 5 is certified gluten-free, soy-free, sugar-free, and non-GMO. Is Spectrum 5 third-party tested? Yes. Every batch of Spectrum 5 is independently third-party tested for purity, potency, and freedom from contaminants. Where is Spectrum 5 made? Spectrum 5 is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in the USA.Dosage & Timing
When should I take Spectrum 5? Take with a meal for best absorption and to minimize any GI sensitivity. For sleep benefits, take 30–60 minutes before bed. For muscle recovery, within 30 minutes post-workout is optimal. For general health, any consistent time with food works. Can I take more than 2 capsules per day? The serving size is 2 capsules (500mg). This exceeds the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for supplemental magnesium (350mg/day) set by the NIH. Consult your doctor before taking higher doses, particularly if you have kidney issues. How long before I notice results? Most users notice sleep and relaxation improvements within 1–2 weeks. Full benefits — including muscle recovery improvements and energy stabilization — typically develop over 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use. Can I take Spectrum 5 with other supplements? Yes, in most cases. It combines well with Vitamin D3, B vitamins, and general multivitamins. If taking calcium supplements, separate by a few hours to allow independent absorption. If taking zinc, staggering doses is also recommended as they compete for some of the same transporters.Effects & Benefits
What does Spectrum 5 actually do? Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions. Daily supplementation with Spectrum 5 can improve sleep quality, reduce muscle cramps and soreness, lower stress and anxiety, support energy production, promote bowel regularity, and support long-term bone density and cardiovascular health. How quickly does Spectrum 5 work for sleep? Many users report noticeable improvement in sleep onset and depth within 7–14 days. The glycinate and oxide forms in Spectrum 5 are specifically associated with sleep improvement in clinical research. Will it cause diarrhea? At the standard 500mg dose with food, most users do not experience diarrhea. If you are sensitive, start with 1 capsule per day and gradually increase. The multi-form formula is gentler on the digestive system than single-form oxide-only products.Purchasing & Subscription

Can I take Spectrum 5 if I’m pregnant? Consult your OB/GYN first. Magnesium supplementation during pregnancy has well-documented benefits (reduces leg cramps, may reduce preeclampsia risk), but dosing and supervision are important. Is Spectrum 5 safe with kidney disease? People with chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 3+) should not supplement with magnesium without medical supervision, as impaired kidneys cannot efficiently excrete excess magnesium. Does magnesium interact with my blood pressure medication? Magnesium may have an additive blood pressure-lowering effect. Inform your prescriber that you are supplementing with magnesium. Can I take Spectrum 5 with antibiotics? Yes, but separate the doses. Magnesium binds to tetracyclines and quinolone antibiotics and reduces their absorption. Take Spectrum 5 at least 2 hours before or after your antibiotic.Related: Dosage Guide · Safety Profile · Ingredients
