Magnesium can be very helpful in some insomnia cases. I wouldn’t bother adding it to the tincture. Just take it separately.
Magnesium isn’t particularly soluble in ethanol and will just sink to the bottom. Also, there isn’t enough data to know what phytochemicals may bind with minerals like that and how it may change their efficacy. There are too many plants and too many constituents to predict with any certainty whether adding minerals and such to tinctures will change anything chemically. I don’t think there’s any reason to think it’d be dangerous but it may decrease benefits by binding with something and thus affecting its bioavailability to the body or its chemical activity.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
