Magnesium drinks are everywhere in the calm aisle, from citrate powders to sparkling cans, built around an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes in the body. Full transparency: The Outgoing Co does not make a magnesium drink. Our products run on L-theanine and adaptogens, so this page walks through the real magnesium options and where an alternative like ours fits into the comparison.
The non-mineral route
Shoppers browsing magnesium drinks are usually after a calmer evening, and that is the job Outty was built for by a different road: L-theanine plus adaptogens in a stick you mix about 30 minutes before the occasion.
Fizz with function
If the appeal of magnesium sparkling waters is a functional can that is not alcohol, Yapper offers the same ritual with a different engine: L-theanine, Lion's Mane, Panax ginseng and natural caffeine in Cherry Lime.
Weighing magnesium against L-theanine? They are different tools: one is an essential mineral, the other a tea-leaf amino acid tied to calm alertness. Outty covers the second lane.

Guides to the best magnesium drinks should start with the form, because magnesium citrate, glycinate, oxide and L-threonate behave differently and reputable labels say which one is inside. Check the actual milligrams per serving against the daily value rather than trusting a calm-sounding brand name. Decide whether you want a daily mineral habit or an occasion drink, since those are different jobs; magnesium products are typically daily, while a stick like Outty is timed to an evening. Be honest about what you are shopping for: if a clinician suggested more magnesium, buy a magnesium product, not ours. If what you really want is a calmer social drink, an L-theanine and adaptogen option is a legitimate alternative to weigh. Either way, choose brands that print amounts and forms plainly.
Beverages and drink mixes that deliver magnesium, an essential mineral, in forms like citrate or glycinate. The category spans powders, sparkling waters, electrolyte blends and mineral waters.
No. Neither product contains magnesium, and we would rather say that plainly than ride the keyword. Outty is L-theanine plus adaptogens; Yapper is L-theanine, Lion's Mane, Panax ginseng and natural caffeine.
Because many people comparing calm beverages are choosing between the magnesium route and the L-theanine route, and we would rather help you compare honestly than pretend the category does not exist.
Common forms include citrate, glycinate, oxide and L-threonate, and they differ in how they are typically used and tolerated. Read labels closely and ask a healthcare professional which form and amount make sense for you.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in more than 300 enzyme systems in the body, and most people should aim to meet their needs through diet first. A drink can contribute, but it is not the only source.
They are different ingredients doing different jobs, and many people keep both in rotation, such as a daily mineral habit plus an occasion stick like Outty. If you take supplements or medication, check with a healthcare professional first.
