Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system.
If you feel wired or restless, take less, or take a break.
The hours before bed decide the night, and magnesium is the mineral that helps you cross from busy to settled. The glycinate form is the one to use in the evening: highly absorbed, gentle on digestion and carried by glycine, an amino acid with its own quiet calming effect.
Pure Encapsulations keep it to exactly that, magnesium bound to glycine, in a hypoallergenic capsule without the binders, coatings and fillers that crowd cheaper formulas. It is the version of this mineral that clinicians reach for when a sensitive system is part of the picture.
Taken as the last unhurried step of an evening, it helps ease a racing mind and relax the body in the run-up to sleep, so you fall asleep more easily and wake less through the night.
A calming nightly staple that pairs naturally with glycine and an evening wind-down for deeper, steadier sleep.

Been taking this for about six weeks now, always an hour before bed. I'd tried a cheaper magnesium oxide version before and it just gave me loose stools. This one sits completely fine on my stomach and I genuinely notice a difference in how quickly I drop off. Hard to say if it's placebo but I've bought a second bottle, so that tells you something.

Clean formula, no weird fillers. Does what it's supposed to. My sleep quality is noticeably better and the leg cramps I used to get after long runs have more or less gone.

My GP flagged low magnesium on a blood panel and recommended I supplement. A friend who works in nutrition pointed me toward the glycinate form specifically. Three months in and my follow-up bloods were much improved. Tablets are easy to swallow, no digestive issues whatsoever.

The supplement itself is great — no stomach issues, I sleep better and the general muscle tightness I carried around from desk work has eased. My only gripe is the price. At £17.49 for the capsule count, it works out noticeably more per serving than comparable glycinate products. I keep buying it because the quality feels consistent, but I do wince a bit at checkout.

I take this alongside ashwagandha and L-theanine before bed. The combination works really well for me — I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling less groggy. I'd been wary of magnesium supplements after a bad experience with the oxide form years ago, but the glycinate form genuinely doesn't bother my digestion at all.

She specifically said to look for glycinate rather than oxide and to avoid anything with a long list of additives. This ticked both boxes. I've been on it for about two months and the muscle tension in my neck and shoulders — which I'd assumed was just postural — has reduced quite a bit. Could be coincidence but I'm sticking with it.
