The magnesium made for the way type 2 drains you.
Most magnesium is made for everyone. This one is made for people whose disease pulls it out every single day. The right form, at a dose high enough to matter, with nothing in it that touches your blood sugar.
Type 2 diabetics are running low on magnesium.
It is one of the most common deficiencies in type 2, and one of the least tested for. It almost never appears on a standard blood panel, so almost nobody finds out.
Why type 2 runs you low.
It is not one thing. It is several, running at the same time, every day.
- High blood sugar days. Your kidneys flush the extra sugar out through your urine, and magnesium leaves with it.
- Metformin. Taken daily for years, it lowers magnesium on top of that.
- Water pills for blood pressure. They flush more of it out again.
- Age. Your body absorbs less magnesium every decade past 50.
- Food that cannot keep up. Decades of hard farming have thinned the minerals in the soil. The same bowl of greens carries less than it used to.
Any one of these on its own, your body catches up. All of them at once, for years, and nothing catches up.
So we built the magnesium that fits.
-
The form with the highest absorption
Pure magnesium glycinate. Bound to an amino acid so your body actually pulls it in, and gentle on the stomach. Most pharmacy magnesium is cheap oxide, which passes straight through you and refills nothing.
-
275mg elemental. A dose that matters
Elemental means the actual mineral, not the weight of the whole compound. Brands print the big number on the front and hide a fraction of it on the back. 275mg is inside the range research uses to correct a real shortage.
-
No sugar. No sweeteners. No gummies
You should not have to swallow the thing you are managing to get your mineral. Clean capsules, no fillers riding along, nothing in here that moves your numbers.
-
Sits next to your prescriptions
It is a mineral, not a drug. It replaces nothing your doctor gave you. It puts back what the disease and the medication take out.
-
Tested so the label is honest
Every batch is independently third-party tested. The 275mg on the label is the number in the capsule.
Built for the diabetics nobody ever told. The form and the dose are what the others got wrong.
Where a full magnesium level shows up.
Magnesium is used in hundreds of processes in your body. These are the ones type 2 diabetics tend to notice.
Heart rhythm
The electrical signal that times every heartbeat runs on magnesium.
Sleep
It is what lets your body settle at night so you actually get into deep sleep.
Energy
Every unit of energy your body spends needs magnesium attached to work.
Blood sugar
Insulin needs magnesium to do its job properly at the cell.
Muscles & legs
It is what lets a muscle release after it contracts. Cramps and restless legs live here.
Blood vessels
Vessels use magnesium to relax between beats instead of staying tight.
How it stacks up against the rest.

The only one with the right form at a real dose, made for a diabetic. For less than a daily coffee.
Elemental magnesium, every day.
Elemental means the mineral itself, not the weight of the compound it rides in. It is the only number that tells you what your body actually gets, and it is the one most brands hide on the back.
What people tell us.
"Nine years type 2, metformin twice a day, and I was waking up exhausted no matter how long I slept. Three weeks in, I stopped needing the chair at two in the afternoon. That alone was worth it."
"I had tried magnesium twice before from the pharmacy and felt nothing, so I nearly skipped this. Turns out I had been taking oxide. The difference with glycinate was obvious inside a month. Cramps at night are gone."
"Bought it for my husband. He is 61, type 2, and he had stopped doing anything after dinner. He sleeps through the night now and he came to the garden centre with me on Saturday. He takes it next to his metformin without me asking."
"Ran out for two weeks over the summer. The legs started up again at night and the tiredness came straight back. That was my proof it was doing something. I set up the refill so I do not run out again."
What happens once you start refilling
A shortage that took years to build does not refill in a week. Here is the order most people notice things, and why staying consistent is the whole game. Tap through the stages.

Questions people ask before ordering.
Several things pull at it at the same time. Every high blood sugar day, your kidneys flush the extra sugar out through your urine and magnesium goes with it. Metformin lowers it further. Water pills for blood pressure flush more. Absorption drops with age. And food cannot make up the difference.
Any one of those alone, your body catches up. All of them together, running daily for years, and it does not. That is why up to 8 in 10 people with type 2 are estimated to be low.
Usually nothing in the first week or two. That part is normal and it is where most people quit.
Sleep tends to move first, somewhere in weeks two to four. Then daytime energy, especially the afternoon. Night cramps and restless legs often settle down in the same window. Many people find their morning numbers easier to manage as the weeks stack up.
That is exactly where it belongs. It is a mineral, not a drug. It replaces nothing. Keep every pill your doctor gave you. This puts back what the disease and the medication take out.
Magnesium is generally well tolerated. If you take blood pressure medication, diuretics, antibiotics, or thyroid medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist about timing. Space it a couple of hours from antibiotics. If you have kidney disease, speak to your own doctor first.
No. There is no sugar in it, no sweeteners, no gummy base, no syrups or juice concentrates. That is a deliberate choice, and it is the reason we do not make a gummy.
Plain capsules, magnesium glycinate, and nothing riding along that you would have to account for.
The form. Most pharmacy magnesium is oxide. Your body absorbs a small fraction of it and the rest passes straight through, which is also why it is sold as a laxative. Reversa is pure glycinate, one of the highest absorbing forms and gentle on the stomach.
The dose. Most brands print a big number on the front of the bottle. That is the weight of the whole compound. The elemental magnesium inside it is much smaller and usually buried on the back. Reversa delivers 275mg elemental per serving.
Magnesium never exists on its own in a capsule. It is always bound to something else. In glycinate, it is bound to glycine. The pair together has a weight, and that is the number most brands print on the front.
The magnesium inside that pair has its own weight. That is the elemental magnesium, and it is the only number that tells you how much your body is actually getting. Research uses 200–400mg elemental per day to correct a shortage. Many products deliver a fraction of that.
Three capsules with water. Most people take them in the evening before bed, because glycinate is the calming form and it fits the routine. Taking them with your evening meal is fine too.
The important part is that it is every day, not the exact hour.
As long as the drain runs. Every high sugar day still pulls magnesium out, and the medications do not pause either. So the refill is daily, the same way the metformin is daily. Same counter, same time.
What most people notice is what happens when they stop. Within a week or two, the sleep and the energy start sliding back. That is the drain, uncovered again.

Why not one bottle?
A shortage this deep took years to build, and the drain keeps running the whole time you are refilling. One bottle starts it but cannot finish it. The 90-day supply is the minimum it takes to rebuild a real reserve, so it comes as the full course, not a sample.
And your first 60 days are covered. Take it daily, and if nothing on your side moves, send one email and it’s free. No bottle to return.
