Which Brand Offers The Best Magnesium Boost — Recess Or Moon Juice?
Magnesium is critical for every single cell in the body, but did you know 50% of the population is magnesium-deficient?*
The benefits of magnesium range from soothing anxiety to helping promote sleep and heart health to improving PMS symptoms. While magnesium’s perks are plentiful, so are the options for magnesium supplements.
To narrow it down, we pitted two top brands against each other: Magnesi-Om® by Moon Juice vs. Recess’ Mood.
Read to find out which one we recommend and which gets you a larger daily supply:
Moon Juice Magnesi-Om® Overview
Launched in 2011, Moon Juice evolved from a cold-pressed juice shop in Venice, CA to grace Sephora’s shelves. And now it’s a global brand with supplements and skin care, available in the US, Canada, Australia, and UAE. Their wide range of adaptogenic, natural supplements have revolutionized the wellness industry.
Taking a unique, holistic approach when crafting their formulas, their ingredients are 100% traceable, vegan, clean, and non-GMO — no endocrine disruptors or flow agents!
Magnesi-Om® is key to rest-and-relaxation and features a powerhouse formula with three different types of magnesium and also L-Theanine which promotes alpha waves that are typically produced during meditation. It’s the nightcap to replenish your body’s Magnesium. Simply take it before bedtime to calm your mind and relax your body.
Here’s how Magnesi-Om® helps build a healthier you from the inside out:
- 310 mg Magnesium from:
- Magnesium Acetyl Taurinate to support brain function and PMS relief
- Magnesium Citrate to support healthy bowel movements
- Magnesium Gluconate to support muscle relaxation
- 112 mg L-Theanine to support cognitive aging
It’s available in two sugar-free flavors — Berry and Blue Lemon — both are super tasty! Magnesi-Om® is available in glass jars, backyard compostable refill pouches, and backyard compostable sticks, making Moon Juice incredibly sustainable, unlike Recess which arrives in plastic tubs and non-compostable sticks.
Unlike other companies that don’t provide transparent information, all Moon Juice products undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure maximum safety, potency, and effectiveness.
Plus, their ingredients are bioactive and bioavailable, so your body can easily absorb them and you feel the effects more quickly — another reason for their many 5-star customer reviews.
Recess Mood
Born in 2018, Recess — as in “take a recess” — is a New York-based startup that has sparkling water and powders that contain magnesium & adaptogens for increased calmness and relaxation.
Recess Mood comes in various flavors like Strawberry Rose and Raspberry Lemon. Not just a magnesium supplement, Recess Mood is also an electrolyte and adaptogen blend. So if you’re staying hydrated and already taking a multivitamin, you’re likely already covered.
The key ingredients in Recess’ magnesium supplements are magnesium L-threonate, L-theanine, and lemon balm. Regarding the sourcing of the ingredients and production processes, Recess isn’t as transparent as we hoped.
Final Verdict
While both products provide decent dosages of magnesium, Magnesi-Om® delivers way more — 70% of your daily value, instead of the 50% that Recess provides.
Recess is more in line with a multivitamin formula, making it less potent than a magnesium supplement. Moon Juice’s products, on the other hand, undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure maximum safety, potency, and effectiveness. Not to mention that their ingredients are 100% traceable, vegan, clean, and non-GMO — no endocrine disruptors or flow agents!
Just so it’s crystal clear, Moon Juice wins! Magnesi-Om® eclipses the competition.
