UCLA Magnesium Formulation Athlete Study (Mg-Form)
2026年6月5日 更新者:Jeremy Swisher, MD、University of California, Los Angeles
Effects of Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium L-Threonate on Sleep, Recovery, and Performance in Collegiate Athletes
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will compare magnesium glycinate, magnesium L-threonate, and placebo in UCLA varsity athletes.
Participants will complete a baseline monitoring period followed by 4 weeks of blinded nightly supplementation.
WHOOP or study-approved wearable data will be used to evaluate sleep efficiency, total sleep time, sleep consistency, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and recovery metrics.
Baseline and final testing will assess selected reaction and physical performance outcomes.
The primary outcome is change in WHOOP-derived sleep efficiency from baseline week to final treatment week.
研究概览
详细说明
Magnesium is involved in neuromuscular signaling, cellular energy metabolism, autonomic regulation, and sleep-related physiology.
Competitive athletes often experience sleep restriction, training stress, travel, soreness, and recovery demands.
Magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate are commonly used athlete-facing magnesium formulations, but they are not interchangeable.
Glycinate is commonly positioned as a well-tolerated sleep-oriented formulation, whereas L-threonate is of interest because of prior signals related to sleep, cognition, reaction performance, and central nervous system magnesium biology.
This single-site UCLA study will enroll adult varsity athletes aged 18 to 35 years.
Participants will complete screening, informed consent, baseline assessments, wearable monitoring, a baseline monitoring period, randomization in a 1:1:1 ratio, 4 weeks of blinded nightly capsules, brief daily REDCap morning surveys, weekly adherence and safety check-ins, and final performance-adjacent testing.
The primary outcome is change in average WHOOP-derived sleep efficiency from baseline week to final treatment week.
Prespecified primary contrasts will compare magnesium glycinate versus placebo and magnesium L-threonate versus placebo.
Total sleep time, sleep consistency, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, WHOOP Recovery Score, reaction-time performance, grip strength, countermovement jump height, adherence, tolerability, and adverse events will be analyzed as secondary or exploratory outcomes according to the final statistical analysis plan.
The magnesium glycinate versus magnesium L-threonate contrast will be treated as exploratory unless the final statistical analysis plan preserves alpha for that comparison.
