Two independent consumer studies evaluating Magnesium Glycinate and Ginseng Plus formulas from Thorne, demonstrated meaningful consumer-perceived improvements across sleep quality, stress resilience, mood, energy, and mental clarity, the company announced.  

Both studies were conducted as structured, open-label consumer perception trials with defined populations, endpoints, and documentation standards.

Magnesium Glycinate 28-day Study: Measurable Improvements in Sleep, Stress, and Recovery

Based on 95 participants in a 28-day consumer study, Thorne’s Magnesium Glycinate demonstrated meaningful benefits across key wellness areas:

  • 94% reported improved ability to stay calm in stressful situations
  • 84% reported improvements in stress levels, mood, or focus
  • 76% reported improved muscle relaxation or recovery

Participants also reported faster sleep onset and improvements in morning refreshment, noting many benefits early in supplementation.

The study evaluated daily supplementation over 28 days with defined endpoints including sleep quality and onset, calm response, mood, focus, energy, muscle relaxation, and tolerability.

Ginseng Plus 30-day Study: Rapid and Sustained Energy Support

In a separate 30-day consumer study of 89 healthy adults experiencing low energy and moderate to severe stress, Thorne’s Ginseng Plus demonstrated rapid and sustained perceived benefits:

  • 85% reported improved energy
  • 72% reported reduced perceived stress and improved mental clarity
  • 71% reported improved mood
  • 91% would recommend the product

The study focused on adults with elevated perceived stress scores and evaluated changes in energy, stress, mood, and cognitive clarity over 30-days of daily use.
