FANTASTIC PRODUCT IN MANY WAYS (Stess, Anxiety, Insomnia)!!! Read on to benefit from my research.
Your reasons for coming across this product are probably varied. One thing you may have found frustrating was trying to determine which type of magnesium (atomic symbol for magnesium is Mg) is right for you (there are over 20 magnesium variations and I researched them all). From the very basic (Mg) hydroxide (often used in products to aid in clearing constipation...think Milk of Magnesia) to this finest form of (Mg), Magnesium Glycinate (Mg that has undergone a chelating process with another chemical compound, lysinate). So what does this mean to you? Magnesium glycinate is the most bioavailable form of (Mg) there is. By going through the chelating process this (Mg) has the smallest size molecular structure of all of the (Mg)s. It makes it's way into all of your tissues and most importantly IT CAN PASS THE BLOOD/BRAIN BARRIER. Not long after taking you will most likely notice a calming effect. Magnesium Glycinate has long been called the original supplemental "chill pill". It acts as a calmative on the entire nervous system. One person got ahold of me with the information that this product even helped with her IBS. Makes sense considering it's nerve calming effect. I was seeking out a product that would help with STRESS/ANXIETY during the day AND also act as an aid with my ONSET (difficulty falling asleep) INSOMNIA as well as my EARLY AWAKENING INSOMNIA. I found what I needed right here and so have my friends that have ordered and used the product after my success. Two tablets (400 mg total) is listed as 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance. That is a minimal number. It can be well exceeded. That value does not take into account the fact that about 70% of the U.S. population is (Mg) deficient. I take one 200mg tab twice a day to help with stress/anxiety. If you are really bad off take 2. Would you like help in falling asleep and staying asleep? Take between 400 mg and 800 mg at bed time. You would of course start at 400 mg. I was successful with 400 mg for 3 days, then 600 for 3 days, the finally at 800 mg. If you have any concerns make the jumps 1 week apart. Magnesium has it's own way of letting you know if you have gone beyond your maximum threshold...you will get Diarrhea. No long and protracted bout, but you will know (remember the Milk of Magnesia?). Perhaps go back to your pre-Diarrhea level, or better yet slow down in the increase speed. The body will most likely adjust. Now, as to this product having any interactions with medications you may already be taking. Just Google a "medication and supplement interaction checker". For me I had one interaction and that was with my gabapentin. I must take my (Mg) two hours before taking my gabapentin or the proper absorption or the gabapentin could be stunted. This is the most common medication interaction with (Mg). Don't want that. In summary I find this product to be a VERY effective tool in dealing with stress, anxiety, and insomnia! What could be better? Good Luck, Todd ***UPDATE*** I was disappointed that I could not take this magnesium at bedtime due to my taking of gabapentin. There is most definitely a "golden hour" of relaxation with this product. I contacted my physician regarding the gabapentin/ magnesium glycinate issue. There is NO requirement to separate this product from your gabapentin. The interaction I found was with more elemental forms of (Mg). I now take at bedtime and fall asleep faster and with a more serene feeling. I apologize for the incorrect information
