How a 4-Week Human Clinical Trial Study Helped Jigsaw MagSoothe® Back Its Promises With Oura Ring Data

by | Feb 10, 2026 | Case Studies | 0 comments

Overview

  • Company: Jigsaw Health
  • Industry: Nutritional Supplements
  • Product Category: Magnesium supplement
  • Target Market: Adults seeking natural support for sleep, stress, and magnesium deficiency
  • Study Partner: OvationLab and Heads Up Health (data aggregation and analysis)

The Challenge

The Jigsaw Health team knew they had something special, a powdered magnesium glycinate supplement in convenient on-the-go packets designed to promote better sleep, reduce stress, and alleviate magnesium deficiency symptoms through high bioavailability.


But in a competitive supplement market, claims about sleep and wellness benefits require
solid evidence. Consumers, practitioners, and retailers demand real-world proof, especially for interconnected issues like poor sleep and subclinical deficiencies tracked via wearables.

How do you demonstrate that a daily packet can deliver measurable improvements in sleep quality and related outcomes for people already monitoring their health?

Study Design

Participants:
65 adults with persistent poor sleep quality

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Self-reported interest in improving sleep quality
  • Self-reported sleep quality of average or worse
  • ≥4 weeks of existing Oura Ring data with Heads Up
  • Any combination of: average sleep score <75 OR readiness score <75 OR sleep efficiency <75 OR deep sleep <30 min OR REM sleep <30 min

Exclusion Criteria:
Current magnesium supplement use, obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis, prescription sleep medication use, insomnia diagnosis, pregnancy or intent to become pregnant in next 3 months, undergoing chemotherapy or cancer treatment, other chronic conditions contraindicated with supplement.

Intervention:

Daily supplementation with one packet of Jigsaw MagSoothe for 4 weeks


Data Collection:
  • Validated Questionnaires (PROMIS Sleep Disturbance – 6a, Perceived Stress Scale – 4, Magnesium Deficiency Questionnaire [MDQ-10]) at baseline and end
  • Oura Ring metrics (total sleep time, deep sleep, REM sleep, sleep efficiency, sleep score, HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature deviation) throughout
  • Adverse events, product satisfaction, willingness to purchase, and open-ended feedback at end

less stressed, and magnesium-replete with MagSoothe, and now we have the numbers to
back it up.”
