by Pure Encapsulations
"120mg elemental magnesium from glycinate per 4-capsule serving — the hypoallergenic practitioner-grade magnesium for sleep and relaxation"
Overview
Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate) provides 120mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium glycinate per 4-capsule serving. Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to glycine — an inhibitory amino acid that itself promotes relaxation and sleep. This dual mechanism (magnesium + glycine) makes magnesium glycinate the preferred form for sleep, anxiety, and muscle relaxation. Pure Encapsulations' hypoallergenic formula is free from wheat, gluten, egg, peanut, coatings, shellacs, GMOs, and unnecessary binders — making it suitable for the most sensitive individuals. The brand is the #1 practitioner-recommended supplement brand in the US.
