Solgar Magnesium with Vitamin B6, 250 Tablets - Promote Healthy Bone Mineralization, Support Nerve & Muscle Function, Energy Metabolism - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Kosher - 83 Servings

Careful with the dosage

I'm a little irritated that I ordered this and now have to either throw it out or return it. I wanted the benefits of simultaneous B6 and magnesium supplementation. However, according to the National Institute of Health (see photo), the max recommended dose for non-pregnant adult women in my age range is 320mg/daily, and 360mg/daily for pregnant women in my age range. In fact, per the NIH, the only groups for whom a 400mg dose is appropriate are males aged 14 , and pregnant girls between age 14-18 (again, see attached photo grid from NIH). I'm not messing around with recommended dosages of anything, especially while trying to get pregnant. Just be sure to ask your doctor if this is safe for you, especially if you're a non-pregnant female over age 18

For Constipation, Leg Cramps, Healthy Bone Building!!

Great supplement to alleviate the side effects of Chemotherapy! A bit of truthfulness here --- chemotherapy causes all kinds of side effects, constipation being one of them. My husband is a cancer patient and even with an excellent whole foods diet was still finding the chemo drugs would bind him up. Laxatives can alleviate constipation but they're also full of chemicals you don't NEED, not to mention they often take DAYS to have an effect upon the bowels. The main ingredient in many laxatives is MAGNESIUM anyway. My husband took these and within a couple of days, he was "regular" again. The chemo also depletes the body of essential vitamins, so having the B6 combined with the magnesium is perfect for maximum absorption and usage. I also take them now, and the leg cramping I often get disappeared. Most people do not get enough magnesium in the diet -- and it one of the main ingredients in the production of bone. Great product for older people especially. SMALL, easy to swallow tablets - very smooth, not chalky so if you don't like pill swallowing, these will be tolerable

Great for kidney stone prevention!

I am taking these tablets under the recommendation of my urologist, who says that medical studies have shown that B6 and Magnesium prevent kidney stones in women. I've been taking these for 2-3 years and they are absolutely amazing! Recommended dosage is 3 tablets per day, but I only take 2 (one in morning and one in evening with meals) and I haven't had any problems with any new stones developing since I began taking these

Excellent supplement!!

I started taking this after reading it was a good supplement for carpal tunnel syndrome. I have to say, my hands have been better since taking this. I do take quite a few supplements as I also have RA, but this has really made a difference for me. I highly recommend it

Working great for my issues

I have degenerative disc disease in my spine and other back issues. My back had started spazzing. I am so tired of the meds they give me at the medical office. I used this for one month straight. I went one week and didn't take it I could tell a difference! I am now working on my second bottle of the same brand! thank you Solgar

Coated and right size.

I really like these. They are coated and the size is smaller than those great big pills. I sleep throughout the night when I take these. We just don't get enough magnesium but I couldn't handle those great big uncoated pills. These work great for me

This is milk of magnesia stuff for constipation, not the form you need to feel and sleep well.

I have been buying Solgar brand Mg for over 7 years and usually get the it in the Mg Citrate form. So I was taking these for a week and didn't get the quality of sleep and sense of well being as I'd come to expect. Then I went back and looked at the label and noticed it's Mg Oxide (significantly lower bio-availability than Citrate or some other Mg forms). OK, I share some blame for not reading the label more thoroughly before I purchased, and assuming that Solgar only offered high bioavailability based on their prices. I am rating this 3/5 stars because Solgar needs to identify the form of magensium on the front label if it is offering all sorts of forms, and they should not cheat consumers with the same price point for poor or high bio-availability forms of Mg

No Gastrointestinal Side Effects

With this Magnesium Oxide supplement by Solgar you get the wonderful benefits of Magnesium without the horrible malabsorption side effects like you can suffer with other brands. Other brands that I have tried can cause horrible side effects; such as bloating, gas, stomach pain and diarrhea. I have had no side effects at all with Solgar. Instead, I have had less muscle and nerve pain and had much more restful sleep. I have been taking Magnesium Oxide for over 7 years for my Sciatica Pain and it really keeps the pain at bay. It used to be unbearable. I really like that that the dose is 3 pills because you can take them throughout the day. I take 1 pill every 8 hours and I feel great
