For winding down and easing into sleep, you're getting 120mg of elemental **magnesium** per capsule, bound to glycine — the form best suited to calm and nervous-system support and the gentlest on digestion. One capsule already sits inside the 100–400mg clinical range, so even the minimum serving does real work, and the label's 1–4 capsule range lets you climb to the 240–360mg most sleep and stress research uses.

Magnesium absorbs well in this form, and the glycine it's attached to is itself mildly calming, so both halves of the molecule point toward relaxation. Roughly half of adults run low on magnesium, and since blood tests miss what's stored inside your cells, a well-absorbed daily dose is a dependable way to top up.

If deeper sleep is your goal, two capsules (240mg) taken with food is the practical sweet spot — comfortably within range and easy on your stomach.
