What you need to know

Magnesium is a mineral and Caffeine is a stimulant. These supplements work through different biological pathways and don't compete for absorption in a clinically meaningful way.

While no negative interaction is documented, it's always good practice to introduce new supplements one at a time to understand your individual response before combining multiple new additions to your stack.

Timing and dosing

Follow each supplement's individual optimal timing:

Magnesium: evening for sleep benefit

Caffeine: morning, avoid after 2pm

When both recommend 'with food,' the same meal works fine.
