Why EL Well
Chosen, not accumulated.
Every decision behind an EL Well bottle — the form, the dose, the ingredients and the label — is made deliberately. We believe supplements should be straightforward: thoughtfully formulated, clearly explained and easy to understand. Here is what that means in practice.
The form matters
Not all forms of magnesium are the same.
For Nº 01, we chose magnesium bisglycinate — a form of magnesium bound to glycine.
Glycinate or bisglycinate?
Magnesium bisglycinate is often referred to simply as “magnesium glycinate.”
EL Well Nº 01 uses magnesium bisglycinate. We use Magnesium Glycinate as the familiar product name while clearly stating the precise form used in the formulation.
Here is how our chosen form compares with some other commonly used forms, in plain terms.

Our principles
01
A single active ingredient, done properly
We would rather give one formula our full attention than fill a range simply for the sake of having more products.
Focus is a quality decision.
02
Plain-English labels
No proprietary blends. No unnecessarily complicated ingredient lists. We want you to be able to understand what you are taking, how much you are taking and what is in the bottle.
03
Honest communication
We do not believe wellness needs fear, hype or exaggerated promises. We communicate clearly about what our products contain and stay within the authorised claims permitted for food supplements.
04
UK-first
EL Well is a UK brand built with UK customers in mind — from our product choices and packaging to the standards and regulations that guide how we communicate.
Quality & Transparency
Nothing to hide.
Trust is earned with evidence, not adjectives. These are the commitments every EL Well product is held to — and the things we will publish as they become real.
01
Full label transparency
Every ingredient and every amount, printed clearly. If it is in the bottle, it is on the label.
02
Short ingredient lists
We formulate with as few ingredients as the product allows. Nothing added to impress, nothing hidden to deceive.
03
Batch traceability
Every bottle can be traced back to its production batch.
04
Honest claims only
We will only ever publish health claims that are authorised for use in Great Britain, worded exactly as approved.
Certificates & Testing
What we will publish here
As EL Well grows, this page will carry our certificates, testing summaries and manufacturing standards — but only once they are real, current and verifiable. We would rather show you nothing than show you something we cannot prove.
Food supplements are not medicines. EL Well products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and we will only ever use health claims that are authorised for use in Great Britain, worded exactly as approved. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, speak to a healthcare professional before taking any supplement.
