This Pure Encapsulations **magnesium glycinate** delivers a sleep-and-muscle-relaxation dose of 120mg elemental magnesium per capsule in a well-absorbed, stomach-gentle form, clearing the clinical threshold with a single pill. That 120mg is the elemental amount your body actually uses, not the heavier compound weight, so one capsule already gives you a genuine therapeutic dose. The label's 1-to-4-capsule range lets you dial intake up to 480mg as your needs shift.
Glycinate is the magnesium form most studied for calm and sleep with minimal digestive upset, so the higher end of that range stays comfortable to take. If you're using it to wind down at night, two capsules (240mg) sits squarely in the studied range and makes a practical starting point. At 180 capsules a bottle, a one-a-day habit lasts six months, with heavier dosing shortening that proportionally.
