Disappointed. I didn't realize that the recommendation is to take THREE capsules TWICE daily. So, I've deducted that the mineral content of both ingredients are quite low. On my next purchase, I plan to do a little more research beforehand
Read More...I started taking calcium magnesium during my pregnancy and it helped so much with sleep, muscle spasms, constipation. I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made. Anyway, I ran out of the fancy whole food brand that I was using and I just picked up some generic brand at the pharmacy and I noticed a difference right away. Basically all my symptoms came back. I hate going to whole foods because it's far, parking sucks, costs soooo much -- so I picked up this brand at the grocery store and it worked great (it also has citrate which is supposedly more absorbing). Ten the store stopped carrying it so I found it on amazon. Great price. I'm four months post partum and still taking it
Read More...I had to search long and hard for a calcium supplement that didn't include any other vitamins Since I'm adding this to my prenatal, I didn't want to double up on other vitamins. Since your body can only absorb one at a time, most prenatals are lacking in calcium to allow the body to absorb iron. Due to the absorption conflict, I take this in the morning and my prenatal at night. The dosage on the bottle says to take it twice a day, but since my prenatal does have some calcium and magnesium in it (just not enough), I am taking it once a day to add to the amounts my prenatal give me without going above recommended amounts as too much magnesium can be toxic. In terms of the pills themselves, they are easy to swallow and I haven't noticed any side effects. I do try to eat something soon after I take the pills to prevent an upset stomach, but I have on occasion run out of the house without food and my stomach was still okay until I had breakfast an hour later at the office. My only complaint is having to take 3 pills at each dose, but other brands I found which had the 500 mg calcium and 250 mg magnesium that I was looking for had many complaints about the pill size, so I opted to go for more easy-to-swallow pills than 1 pill that is hard to swallow. I am able to take 2 of these pills in one swallow. (I am not a doctor and have made my choice based on personal research and consultation with my doctor regarding my prenatals. I would recommend asking a doctor before you choose a dosage, but if you are advised to take a 500 mg calcium/ 250 mg magnesium supplement, I do recommend this one)
Read More...our favorite calcium and magnesium capsule after reading many reviews this is this is the second time we have used this product it is important to make sure you use the right combination of calcium and magnesium and this is the better one we lik
Read More...I am rating Nature's Way Calcium and Magnesium by the immediate response of my body to the capsules. I was beginning to have pain in my left middle finger I knew to be arthritic in nature. The finger was becoming stiff and painful to move. Within a week of taking a capsule a day in the morning stopped the lain and restored my finger movement from being stiff. Definitely deserves a Five Star rating in my book. I purchased this product and I have received no compensation from Nature's Way. My caveat is this is how this product effected me, so of course I'll endorse it
Read More...I have been taking calcium magnesium for years but switched to this formulation because of limitations mandated by a clinical trial I'm in. I am maybe 1/3 through the bottle and have already found THREE empty capsules in there! Never before have I found any in all my years of taking calcium supplements! The product is easily swallowed and I assume it's pure and delivers the proportion of nutrient advertised, but I had to leave a review because of my disappointment in all the empty capsules
Read More...I have used a variety of calcium products and this is by far the easiest to digest and swallow. My daughter also has had problems with other calcium products and now uses this one. Because of recent warnings about calcium, we only take 4 capsules/day instead of the 6 it recommends
Read More...I am exclusively pumping and noticed my supply going down when I got my period back. After some research, I found that calcium/magnesium supplements could help. I definitely noticed the difference the next time I got my period, my supply did not tank like it had! I'm not sure on the actual benefits of taking a Ca/Mg supplement, but this is what I used this for
