Relieves cramps and anxiety
5 people found this helpful
I was prescribed magnesium by my doctor to take almost permanently, alternating between different forms but not oxide. Regular intake prevents cramps and reduces anxiety. These capsules are easy to swallow, unlike many other magnesium tablets that can irritate the throat.

I've been using magnesium for over a year now, and it really does the trick! The citrate form significantly benefits my digestive tract. The only downside is the size of the capsules; to avoid sticking in my throat, I moisten them beforehand.

Cramps alleviated
Prior to taking magnesium, I experienced muscle cramps in my calf, and occasionally woke at night because of them. I take one tablet in the morning after breakfast. While the capsules aren’t small, I can swallow them without issue. By placing them vertically on my tongue, they don’t stick in my throat. I'm pleased to report that magnesium has eliminated my leg cramps.

Excellent! A deficiency in magnesium adversely affects one’s overall health, leading to anxiety, spasms, headaches, palpitations, insomnia, chronic fatigue, and irritability—issues I know all too well. That's why I regularly take Now Foods Magnesium Citrate on my cardiologist's advice. Although the capsules are sizeable, I experience no difficulty swallowing them if taken correctly. I usually consume 1 capsule each morning after breakfast. The quality is remarkable, and my health has notably improved. The ingredients are safe for well-being.

Effective for bowel movements
1 people found this helpful
We purchased this for constipation relief, and I found it quite effective! Initially, I had some hard stools, but by the fifth day, I was impressed with the number of soft stools after breakfast. I feel revitalised, especially before my period, possibly aided by the iron supplements I'm taking. However, the capsules are quite large and may stick in my throat if not taken with enough water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not my preferred choice
I ordered magnesium citrate to replenish magnesium, also hoping for its laxative effects for constipation. Initially, leg cramps disappeared after ten days, but I didn’t find it relaxing or sedative like magnesium taurate did for me. I advise taking it during dinner to prevent morning intestinal discomfort, as I've had issues with it when taken on an empty stomach. Hence, I’m exploring other options.

Muscle cramps alleviated
Magnesium citrate has truly helped me. Prior to taking it, I suffered from muscle cramps in my calf, waking up during the night in frustration. My eyelid also twitched, which was unsettling. It is crucial to obtain magnesium through both diet and supplements. The daily dose is 1 tablet taken in the morning after breakfast with water. The capsules are not small, yet I have no trouble swallowing them if positioned right. I cannot comment on stress resistance, but magnesium has remarkably reduced my muscle cramps and cravings for chocolate. I took 1 tablet daily as prescribed with no side effects. I can confidently state that magnesium has assisted me greatly.

Unhelpful for me

Unfortunately, these capsules had no effect on me. I have tried various brands, but with these, I don't notice any difference. The large capsules are cumbersome to take, especially if one needs to double the dosage, as they tend to stick in my throat despite ample water consumption. I won’t be repurchasing.

Improves sleep quality
The doctor recommended I take three tablets at bedtime with vitamin B6. This has indeed improved my sleep quality and eliminated insomnia. However, the tablets are large and difficult to swallow; I often have to crush them as they can easily get lodged in my throat, so caution is advised.
