Magnesium oxide shows promise against EHEC
We investigated how a macroporous magnesium oxide-templated carbon (MgOC) could help combat Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a common foodborne threat. MgOC effectively adsorbed harmful Shiga toxins and secretory proteins that contribute to EHEC's virulence while not affecting the bacteria's growth itself. Notably, infected mice treated with MgOC showed an extended survival period. This innovative material didn't harm healthy cells or gut bacteria. However, it also absorbed several antimicrobial agents, suggesting it could be combined with specific antibiotics to improve treatment options against EHEC infections.

Constipation relief
1 people found this helpful
I had a prescription at the hospital for severe constipation. It was difficult to manage, so I bought a magnesium supplement from a pharmacy. However, the quantity required was inconvenient, leading me to switch to this product. The pills are large, but with enough water, swallowing them is easy. I initially upped my intake to two pills, but found that every other day worked best. My bowel movements improved naturally without discomfort. While I tried another brand of magnesium, it didn’t suit me as well as NOW Foods. I've stocked up on it to ensure I don't run out.

Improved health
Good day! I’d like to share my experience with this magnesium preparation. My mother began complaining of leg cramps, insomnia, and frequent headaches. The therapist’s tests indicated a magnesium deficiency. They prescribed a medication needing three doses daily, which was inconvenient. We switched to NOW Foods magnesium capsules, taking one daily. After two months, tests showed her magnesium level had increased significantly! She experienced no more cramps and improved sleep. This product truly works!

Migraine relief
1 people found this helpful
With my migraine frequency increasing, I sought a solution and discovered magnesium deficiency might be related. Since I couldn't obtain enough from food, I looked for decent supplements and found this one at a low price for a trial. I've been taking it for just over 10 days and, miraculously, I haven’t experienced a migraine since starting!

Reduced cramps
I purchased Now Foods magnesium to take with my family at home, as I was feeling anxious. After using it, I noticed a significant reduction in my leg cramps. I feel much better and plan to continue using it in the future.

Ineffective product
48 people found this helpful
We, four people, tried it and it's truly disappointing! I have always liked NOW Foods products, currently having about 12 open bottles from the brand. However, this product is worthless; it had no effect whatsoever. I recognise a quality magnesium supplement when my heart rate drops and I feel relaxed. This product offered no benefits at all. If you seek an excellent magnesium supplement, I suggest UltraMag from Source Naturals. This is an honest review, and all four of us in the house agree on it.

This product does not work. I've been taking it daily for nearly a month, yet I don't feel any different. I've noticed that none of the Now Foods supplements seem to have any impact. I take seven different supplements from them, and all fail to produce any significant changes in my wellness.

Sleep aid success

I tried NOW Foods' Magnesium Caps at a friend's recommendation as a sleep aid. Taking one capsule before bed has made a remarkable difference in my sleep pattern. I wake feeling more refreshed and can sleep longer than I have in years.

Not good at all! These pills caused me stomach bloat and diarrhoea! Previously, I had used Now Foods Magnesium Citrate, which worked well, but this one is terrible for me!
