Calmness from heartburn
Most Useful Review
Great drug! Of all the magnesium preparations, this is my favourite! It is well absorbed; after 2-3 days of taking it, I felt calm and peaceful. The dosage of 500 mg is convenient, as I took one tablet an hour before bedtime. The tablets are small and easy to swallow, and there was no heartburn! I truly appreciated the effect; my nervousness and irritability subsided, and my sleep improved! I recommend it to anyone with nerve issues! :)

Magnesium oxide treats leg cramps
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study assessing the efficacy of magnesium oxide monohydrate in the treatment of nocturnal leg cramps.
Most Relevant Research
We conducted a study to evaluate how effective magnesium oxide monohydrate (MOMH) is in treating nocturnal leg cramps (NLC). This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving multiple centers in Ukraine, where participants took either MOMH or a placebo nightly for 60 days.

Our focus was on measuring the frequency and duration of cramps, the pain they caused, and how they affected sleep quality and overall life satisfaction. We used thorough statistical methods to compare the results between the two groups.

The findings indicated that MOMH is both effective and safe for individuals dealing with NLC. Participants reported improvements in their symptoms, demonstrating that this magnesium supplement can play a helpful role in managing nocturnal leg cramps.

I've purchased this multiple times! I take magnesium alongside potassium to combat leg cramps. Together, they are excellent! I've relied on this brand's other products for years, so I trust them. If you require magnesium, choose this!

Magnesium reduces migraine symptoms
Magnesium and Migraine.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how magnesium supplementation can help alleviate migraines, a condition that affects countless individuals and can be incredibly disabling. Research has shown a strong link between magnesium deficiency and various factors that contribute to migraines, such as neurological changes and inflammation.

Studies, including randomized controlled trials, indicate that magnesium can reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, both in the short term and as a preventative measure. This effectiveness is thought to stem from magnesium's ability to influence nerve function and reduce stress responses in the body.

We've examined the accumulating evidence from case studies and clinical trials, and it clearly points to magnesium being a valuable option for those suffering from migraines. By addressing magnesium deficiency, we may offer a new avenue for relief and improved management of this challenging condition.

Significant reduction
Most Useful Review
Migraine relief. I take very high doses of magnesium to help combat my chronic migraines. I appreciate that it comes in 500mg tablets, so I only have to swallow a couple instead of many. It's definitely potent; I've gone from experiencing a migraine daily to having only a couple each month.

Effectiveness of magnesium on constipation
Effect of reduced daily magnesium oxide doses on laxative effect: a single-center retrospective study.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how changing the frequency of magnesium oxide (MgO) doses influences its effectiveness in relieving constipation. In this study, we looked at 11 patients who had been regularly using MgO to manage their bowel movements and decided to reduce their daily dose frequency over two weeks.

Initially, patients were taking magnesium three times a day, but we reduced this to either two or one dose per day while keeping the total amount the same. We found that the average number of bowel movements dropped from 7.6 to 6.6 in this period. However, this change wasn't statistically significant, indicating that it may not be clinically meaningful.

Additionally, we measured stool consistency using the Bristol Stool Form Scale and noted no significant difference before and after the dosage adjustment. Our findings suggest that reducing the number of doses does not impact the laxative effect of magnesium oxide. This implies that patients can comfortably manage their magnesium intake without sacrificing effectiveness.

Effective treatment
Most Useful Review
Works well. I have three severe imbalances: sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Although I take prescription medication for one of them, the magnesium in these tablets is very good. I need to take three, but it’s worthwhile for my chronic constipation.

Magnesium aids migraine management
Magnesium and Migraine.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the impact of magnesium on migraine headaches, focusing on its potential benefits based on various studies. Magnesium deficiency is quite common and can arise from different factors, such as not consuming enough through diet or losing more through bodily systems.

A wealth of research, including case reports and controlled trials, suggests that magnesium supplementation can effectively alleviate migraines, both in the short term and long term. The proposed reasons for this effectiveness range from magnesium's role in preventing spreading cortical depression to its ability to manage oxidative stress and inflammation.

This evidence leads us to consider magnesium not just as a dietary supplement but as an important player in migraine management. Understanding these links helps us contemplate magnesium’s role in prevention and treatment, promising a potential path for those who suffer from this debilitating condition.

Helps with headaches
Most Useful Review
I use this product daily as my doctor recommended it to relieve headaches from a brain injury. The only downside is the size; it’s hard to swallow due to its size and hardness.
