Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelated Supplement - High Absorption Magnesium Supplement for Muscle, Bone & Joint Support - Non-GMO, Non-Laxative, Fully Buffered for Maximum Bioavailability - 180 Capsules

I have Autism, and so magnesium is extra important for me. If that weren't bad enough, none of the foods I am willing to eat contain enough magnesium to keep me from being deficient in magnesium, so I really don't get any dietary magnesium at all (I probably get a little bit, but it's nowhere near enough to keep me from being very deficient). I've seen extremely long lists of foods I could eat every day that would keep my magnesium levels up, but none of them appeal to me at all. I would seriously have to force myself to eat them. Who wants to live like that? I turned 39 years old last month, and so it's more important than ever for me to make sure I am getting plenty of magnesium every day.For a long time, I was trying to keep my magnesium levels up with a buffered magnesium bisglycinate in a powdered form that has the following inactive ingredients: Magnesium bisglycinate chelate‚ magnesium oxide‚ citric acid‚ adipid acid‚ stevia leaf extract. Yeah, it has lots of magnesium oxide in it. Not good! To make it worse, the Supplement Facts panel says this:Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate 997mg / *Magnesium (As Bisglycinate Chelate) 179mg / 45%Each serving is half of a teaspoon. I took one serving when I woke up, and another right before bed. I had to force myself to do the work of mixing it with a little bit of water and then drink it. It was palatable thanks to the Stevia Leaf Extract, but still, I really hated it. I always wished I could just find a tiny capsule to take.So yeah, that powder was ok, but it wasn't *great*. Unfortunately, I was living in ignorance and I thought this was as good as it could possibly get for me. After all, I never found a capsule or tablet or pill form that was small enough for me to swallow, and I also couldn't find a better source of magnesium in a powdered form that was palatable. So, I just kept ordering this stuff without doing any occasional shopping around to see what might be new on the market. I would sometimes have to read what the benefits of magnesium are to help keep me motivated to continue taking that powdered form, but I would usually sit there wishing I could actually experience those benefits - or at least *notice* them. I just thought I was out of luck because I have Autism. I did notice a difference in my ability to swallow bigger capsules and pills when I would go too long without taking that magnesium, so I at least had that.Recently, I had to order more of my powdered magnesium but it was out of stock everywhere and the manufacturer said it would be 4-6 weeks before I could get some more from them or from *any* retailer! That would've meant I would have gone about 2-3 weeks without any magnesium at all! So, I looked around on Amazon and I actually found a few encapsulated magnesium supplements I wanted to try, including this BioSchwartz magnesium. While trying to narrow my choice down to just 1 (I have a limited income), it became more and more obvious the BioSchwartz magnesium was by far the best choice, so I confidently ordered a bottle.I started taking it on May 11th and now it's May 28th, and I just want to shout it from the rooftops that this magnesium supplement is fantastic! I take 1 when I wake up and 1 right before bed and it only requires just a tiny sip of water. For the first time in my life, I'm actually experiencing absolutely all of the reported benefits of getting enough magnesium every day! It's awesome! I'm also not getting any of those unwanted heavy-feeling physical effects from ingesting all of those filler ingredients. I mean, now that I have this comparison to go by, I can tell you that it's like the benefits from such inferior magnesium supplements get muffled or like they're hiding behind a thick fog or something. With this BioSchwartz magnesium, I can honestly feel the quality and potency and purity. All I get are the benefits of magnesium and nothing else! I honestly think this is what it feels like to get plenty of dietary magnesium. I already get plenty of B-6 (P-5-P), Folate (Metafolin), and B12 (Methylcobalamin from "nugget" lozenges), and I also take a lot of other amazing supplements including Fermented Cod and Skate Liver Oil and Concentrated Butter Oil, so yeah. :) I'm all set now! I finally feel great! This magnesium has made a huge difference. Looking back to before I started taking this and comparing then to now, it's like I wasn't getting *ANY* magnesium before.The capsules are the tiny #4 capsules that have a capacity of 210 mg. None of these capsules contain any less than 200 mg of magnesium, and most of them are filled to capacity. So, each capsule contains about 200-210mg of non-buffered Albion Minerals TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, and the capsules themselves are these harmless AND TINY high-quality Vcaps® Plus brand capsules. Perhaps the best part is the body can utilize all of 200 mg of the magnesium, unlike that powdered form that had 997 mg per serving but only 179 mg could be absorbed. This is the magnesium supplement I have been waiting for!In case you're wondering about whether it gives me any sort of unwanted effects on bowel movements or any other related things like that, I am very happy to report that I don't feel anything that I don't like unless I take too much (which is to be expected from taking too much magnesium). This is everything I have always wanted in a magnesium supplement!

I really like this formulation and although I do find it a little funny that the serving is three capsules I understand because it's nice that they're small and as you can imagine, the bottle is quite full so it's definitely not a problem. I find that with a lot of supplements I have tried I don't usually feel much of an effect however, I actually do feel like when I take it at night before bed the next day I feel honestly more rested than when I don't which is a really pleasant surprise!Also, I can completely vouch for the claim of no laxative effect as I'm kind of sensitive to things of that nature.

I bought this product for my daughter who is an elite hockey player. She was often tired and just couldn't kick it in gear during the 3rd period of games because her legs were gassed. This has helped greatly with muscle recovery! We also started her on this to help with her periods. What a difference! She has more energy and her periods are lighter. She is 15 and definitly lets me know when she is getting low on her magnesium. She can definitly tell a difference when she hasn't take it for a few days. I do wish that instead of 3 pills, they would come in one larger capsule, but other than that, this product works really well. We will continue to order!

Works well to promote sleep onset.

The changes I've noticed in mental and physical well-being were subtle but certainly improved my overall quality of life. It is a staple in my life from now on.

I’m 45 years old, and my gynecologist recommended this magnesium bisglycinate. I’ve been taking it for over a year now—one capsule after breakfast and two before bed—and it really helps me sleep better. It’s gentle on the stomach, non-laxative, and I feel more relaxed overall. A high-quality supplement I truly trust and recommend.

I have a subscription for this product, since it's one of the few magnesium supplements that I can tolerate without digestive upset. Another great thing is that the capsules are tiny and easy to swallow.

I’ve been taking this stuff for years and it’s amazing. I also recommended to all my patients and they get great results. Maybe bio Schwartz will start giving me commissions from the sales over the last seven or eight years lol.
