Calm & Restore Magnesium
The halal magnesium glycinate most people are looking for. ZMZM Labs Halal Certified, 200mg chelated magnesium paired with 1g glycine, in vegan HPMC capsules. Designed for the Isha (evening) window of the Barakah Schedule.
Why the form of magnesium matters
Most drugstore magnesium is magnesium oxide — cheap to manufacture, poorly absorbed, and known for causing GI upset. The form that the research actually supports for sleep, stress, and muscle recovery is magnesium glycinate (also called magnesium bisglycinate): magnesium bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. The chelated structure means it passes through the stomach intact and is absorbed in the small intestine like a peptide, not a salt.
Calm & Restore uses pure magnesium glycinate at the dose that shows up in clinical trials — 200mg of elemental magnesium per serving — plus an additional 1g of free glycine. Glycine on its own has independent evidence for sleep-onset latency and REM-quality improvement (Yamadera et al., 2007; Bannai & Kawai, 2012).
What's in it
- 200 mg magnesium glycinate (elemental Mg, fully chelated)
- 1,000 mg added glycine for compound sleep-onset support
- HPMC vegetable capsule — plant-based, no porcine gelatin, halal-permissible, vegan
- No magnesium oxide. No magnesium stearate. No titanium dioxide. No silicon dioxide. No artificial colors.
Halal verification
ZMZM Labs Halal Certified tier. Calm & Restore is independently certified by (Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America) in addition to our internal lab testing. The capsule is HPMC (vegetable cellulose) so there is no gelatin question to resolve. Every ingredient is sourced through the GMP-audited supply chain. Request the COA for your batch →
Why Muslims need a halal magnesium specifically
Almost every magnesium glycinate on the US market today is either (a) packaged in a gelatin capsule of unspecified animal origin, or (b) using a synthetic glycine source produced with processing aids that may not pass halal scrutiny. We source halal-verified glycine, we use HPMC capsules, and we ship the halal certificate with every batch. If you have been buying magnesium glycinate from mainstream brands and assuming "it's just magnesium, it must be halal," the capsule itself is usually the problem.
When to take it
Take one to two capsules with water 30 to 60 minutes before sleep. Works as part of the Isha-window of the Barakah Schedule — the natural circadian shift toward parasympathetic dominance and the body's magnesium replenishment cycle.

What customers ask before buying
Is this really ZMZM Labs Halal Certified? Yes. ZMZM Labs Halal Certified, certificate available per batch on request via the COA request page. The vegetable HPMC capsule means there's no porcine gelatin question to resolve.
What form of magnesium is this? Pure magnesium glycinate (also called magnesium bisglycinate). This is the chelated form with the strongest evidence for sleep, stress, and recovery. Not magnesium oxide, citrate, malate, or threonate.
Why glycine in addition to the glycinate? Because glycine has independent evidence for sleep onset and REM-quality improvement beyond what is delivered through the chelated bond.
Is the capsule vegan? Yes. HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) is derived from plant cellulose. No animal-derived gelatin.
Can I take it during Ramadan? Yes. Most users take it 30-60 minutes before Isha, between iftar and sleep. The supplement does not break fast when taken with water during the night.
What is the return policy? 30 days, including opened bottles. Email support@zmzmlabs.com with your order number for a refund or replacement. No restocking fee, no return shipping cost, no "unopened only" fine print.
How quickly will I notice anything? Most users report changes in sleep depth within 5-10 days. Muscle recovery and daytime calm typically take 2-3 weeks to register clearly. We recommend trying it for two delivery cycles (about 60 days) before deciding it works or doesn't.
