NOW Foods Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder
by NOW Foods
"Chelated magnesium glycinate in powder form — the sleep and relaxation magnesium with flexible dosing"
Overview
NOW Foods Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder provides magnesium chelated to glycine in a versatile powder format that allows flexible dosing. Magnesium bisglycinate (glycinate) is the preferred form for sleep, relaxation, and anxiety support because glycine itself is a calming amino acid — so you get dual relaxation benefits from both the magnesium and the glycine. The powder format allows precise dose adjustment and is ideal for those who have difficulty swallowing capsules or want to add magnesium to beverages. The taste is mildly sweet from the glycine.
