I'm a big fan of Naturelo and I love their approach to magnesium with this formula. The company has chosen to use the glycinate form of magnesium, a highly bioavailable and digestible form of the mineral delivered with a magnesium-rich plants blend of organic spinach leaf, organic Swiss chard leaf, organic okra leaf, and more. 200mg of magnesium is delivered in one single capsule alone, so you don't have to worry about taking three or four capsules to get an optimal serving of the mineral. The vegetable cellulose capsule also means that additives and fillers are absent from the supplement, only leaving the active ingredients that are fully absorbed and utilized by the body. I do recommend giving this form of magnesium a try. You're getting this essential mineral in one of the most natural and bioavailable forms with a small plants blend of magnesium-rich foods, too.
On a side note, I always take magnesium around or before bedtime. It is also best to take it two hours apart from any other supplements or medications so that it won't interfere with them. (Along with calcium, magnesium is a big mineral that can block your absorption of anything else taken alongside it!) According to the renowned Dr. Low Dog, "Government surveys show that roughly 50 percent of us don't get the recommended daily allowance (RDA: 320 mg/day for women, 420 mg/day men). In addition, certain medications, such as diuretics and proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Prilosec, Nexium) can wipe out magnesium. This is all really bad news, since low magnesium intakes are associated with high blood pressure, sudden cardiac death, type 2-diabetes, insulin resistance, migraines, Osteoporosis, and asthma." It is clear that we need to supplement with this essential mineral for optimal health and well-being
