Systemic inflammation — CRP & high-sensitivity CRP reduction
Moderate
Population: Adults with pro-inflammatory conditions (various clinical populations)
Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs
Dose context: 1000 mg typical • Duration: >10 weeks

Curcumin supplementation significantly decreased CRP (WMD −3.67 mg/L, 95% CI −6.96 to −0.38) & hs-CRP vs placebo across 9 CRP & 23 hs-CRP trials; greatest effect at doses ≤1,000 mg/day & duration >10 weeks.

Non-linear dose-response; stronger effects with <2,000 mg/day curcumin.
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) reduction after exercise
Moderate
Population: Healthy adults performing resistance or eccentric exercise
Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs
Dose context: —

Curcumin supplementation significantly reduced DOMS & muscle damage markers (CK, LDH) vs placebo; effect sizes were moderate & clinically meaningful for pain reduction in eccentric exercise protocols.

Trade-offs & context
Tolerance

Loose stools at higher doses; glycinate form is better tolerated than citrate or oxide

Context: doses >400mg elemental

Timing

Drowsiness — take in the evening to leverage rather than fight this effect

Sleep quality in adults with poor sleep (magnesium bisglycinate RCT)
Moderate
Population: Adults aged 18–65 with self-reported poor sleep (n=155)
Study type: RCT (double-blind, placebo-controlled)
Dose context: 250 mg typical (range: 200–250 mg) • Duration: 8 weeks

250 mg elemental magnesium as bisglycinate modestly but significantly reduced Insomnia Severity Index score vs. placebo (−3.9 vs −2.3, p=0.049) by week 4; well-tolerated with minimal GI effects.

Citation: Abboud M et al. Nutrients. 2025.•https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40918053/
First RCT specifically using magnesium bisglycinate for sleep in a general adult population.
Insomnia in older adults (sleep latency, total sleep time)
Low
Population: Older adults with insomnia (3 RCTs, n=151)
Study type: Systematic review & meta-analysis
Dose context: 320 mg typical (range: 100–500 mg) • Duration: 8 weeks

Magnesium supplementation reduced sleep onset latency by ~17 min vs. placebo; increased sleep time & efficiency. Evidence rated low-to-very-low quality; all trials at moderate-to-high bias risk.

Citation: Mah J & Pitre T. BMC Complement Med Ther. 2021;21(1):125.•DOI: 10.1186/s12906-021-03297-z•https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865376/
Benefit most plausible in those with low baseline magnesium. Dose refers to elemental magnesium.

Interaction Analysis
Pharmacokinetic + pair-level checks
Timing optimizations
Curcumin Extract
Take ~2h before the intended effect window
Reaches peak plasma concentration in ~2h. Half-life ~8h.
Magnesium (Glycinate)
Evening (glycinate/threonate) or before bed
Magnesium promotes GABA activity and lowers core body temperature, aiding sleep onset and quality. (Onset: ~2h, half-life: ~8h)

Interaction analysis is based on peer-reviewed pharmacology. PMID links go to PubMed. Not medical advice.
