Nature's Bounty Magnesium, Bone and Muscle Health, Tablets, 500 mg, 200 Ct

Amazing easy benefits to your health

I started taking this product for ongoing IBS (D C) as well as benefits in more naturally reducing anxiety tied to ADHD. This product came quickly, was well packaged with appropriate seals and was easy to take. The size of the pill and lack of taste made this an easy addition to my vitamin regimen. Within days I noticed a huge difference in water retention (as the idea is that magnesium pulls stored water to the bowel to ease of passing food). I literally fit in jeans a size down I had not worn for a year. I found myself thirsty but given the excess water loss I was not surprised. Surprising was the colon cleanse aspect of the vitaminâ€" especially the first few days be close to home as you may use the bathroom more frequently than normal and without as much warning. Within 3 to 4 days this went away. I did notice my anxiety was considerably less within this same 3 to 4 day period which allowed me to fall asleep much faster. An unexpected and incredibly welcomed benefit was the fairly immediate reduction of a appetite!! I am a snacked especially working from home and I now have to remind myself to eat! This makes sense as your body better absorbs the nutrients in food! Highly recommend

Magnesium pills have a lot of health benefits.

Helps with soft stool so very good for my recital fissure. Naturally lose stool. Got constipated once and took a third one and instead of being sick and cramping with a laxative took an extra magnesium pill and worked just like magic. Usually take 1,000 every night with my night time meds. And also they help with overactive bladder symptoms which is a result of my gabapentin medicine. And I was taking oxybutien for that but it was making my symptoms worse and making me more sick so I no longer need that medication because magnesium pills have a lot of health benefits. And you get more for your money to order them and I specifically needed 500 mg that my family member has the same problem a rectal fissure and that's the dose that she told me to take two of them and then I found out that they helped me with my bladder issues so that's a win win for me. I take two su night with my nightly pills. Look up all the health benefits of taking magnesium pills daily. Can't go wrong with that

Helps with fast heart rate

I got this because I have tachycardia (an over above average fast heart beat), which causes me to have anxiety, headaches, trouble sleeping, and dizziness. A friend of mine has this too and told me to take magnesium. The first night I took this, after about 30 minutes I felt my muscles relax and I couldnt feel my heart beating through my chest anymore. I had such a deep relaxing sleep as well. I woke up feeling calm and not jittery :) I will continue to take this but I have high hope that this will help me and I'm soo happy about it!! Get you some

Benefits galore !!!

I've started taking after total knee replacement. My bowel went to sleep and couldn't wake up. Took 1 the first night and cleared bowel completely the next morning. Now 6 weeks later, I'm thanking my lucky stars for having this natural substance to help me morning and night. At night I fall asleep easily and sleep a full 8 hours. My recovery is going well. Any additional benefits, like calming me down, have led to being able to more easily taper off meds very easily and look forward to a clearer head and positive attitude despite the occasional discomfort. Good product that may become a staple in my diet

Wow

I'm a person with chronic pain and I'm only 34. For two years now I've tried understanding and listening to my body. And have done everything you can think of to feel better. Never ever occurred to me to try magnesium. Well I am saying I've taken for two days only and woke up for once not in pain!!!! I am so thankful I added this simple vitamin. Who would have thought

An inexpensive magnesium supplement with limited bioavailability.

Magnesium is an essential mineral for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Since dissolved magnesium compounds are present in many water sources, magnesium deficiency is considered to be a rare condition. Yet, deficiency does occur for lifestyle and medical reasons which is the reason why supplements have become necessary and advised by medical professionals. Magnesium compounds vary in both structure and bioavailability. Chemical structure depends on the choice of other element or organic compound (chelate) that it is combined with and this combination determines its bioavailability, i.e., the ability to be work inside cells. This product is an oxide meaning that magnesium is combined with oxygen. As indicated on the Supplement Facts, each tablet will provide a nominal 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA)â€"assuming that it will be all dissolved and absorbed. Unfortunately, the oxide form is the least bioavailable magnesium compound, and it has a reputation for causing stomach upset when taken without food. This critique raises the question whether it should be used at all. Maybe. This oxide formulation is relatively inexpensive, and it can be a useful supplement even without complete bioavailability. It may be worth a trial to determine its benefit. In this regard, it should noted that this magnesium compound is often included at lower concentrations in popular, broad spectrum, vitamin-mineral supplements, e.g. One-a-Day™ and Centrum™. Chelated magnesium alternatives (e.g, taurate, citrate, malate, lysinate, bisglycinate, glycinate, etc.) should be considered when searching for a more bioavailable supplement. The tradeoffs will become obvious: reputed benefits of the chelate, amount that needs to be consumed to reach a RDA, bioavailability, and price. The choices are many

Does what it supposed to do I guess…

I'm not a big fan of supplements, to me most of it and the associated claims seem like snake oil BS. But when I complained to my doctor about getting short severe leg cramps in the AM, he told me I probably have a Magnesium shortage, so I bought a jar of this stuff (the cheapest on Amazon). It appears his diagnosis was correct because after taking this stuff for three weeks my symptoms are better. Does that sound like testimonial BS to you? It does to me, but I have to admit it does seem to be helping. I still think most supplements and health improvement claims are BS but in this instance the product did help but I would not have taken it based on package claims, BS testimonials from the net or aunt so & so uses that, I needed a doctor with scientific knowledge to advise me to try it

Works for insomnia

I got a bottle of magnesium to help with insomnia, guess what, it did the trick! Sometimes when we have a hard time sleeping it can be caused by low magnesium, mine was low and I started this immediately I was able to sleep again! Thank You

No more irritability at night!

Started taking them towards the end of pregnancy when I couldn't sleep at night due to irritability throughout my body. As long as these were taken before bed I saw drastic changes and was able to sleep again. It took me several months to find ANYTHING that worked. Was so blessed that this worked for me. I will continue to use it now because it helps me fall asleep quicker and seems to also clear my mind in much less time than usual in order to do so

Works great but…

Use these only if I know i have no plans for the next 12 hours, so bed time mostly. It has a laxative in it and it can ruin your day, especially if your digestive system is weird to begin with. However after a intense workout its worth it to help with muscle soreness and recovery
