Cardiovascular ResearchMagnesium Taurate 125 mg, Creamy White, 180 Capsules (MAGT2)

I started experiencing heart palpitations approximately 4 years ago. They started as random flutterings that would come and go as I lay down to go to sleep. They became progressively worse, and would often go on for days. These maddening incidents continued to worsen until they would culminate in a period of continuous palpitations, with my heart pounding rapidly and sporadically. These periods started in spurts of 20-30 minutes and once they stopped the palpitations would go away completely for a few weeks, then start building again. After one incident where the palpitations lasted for 2 hours, I went to the emergency room, but they stopped before the physicians could catch it on an EKG (thanks for the 20 minute delay in the waiting room even though there was no one in the place at the time).Wash, rinse, repeat. The palpitations kept coming back, building, and culminating in an extended, frightening, painful period of rapid, irregular heart palpitations sometimes lasting 4-6 hours. These incidents left me feeling exhausted and horribly frustrated as no one could tell me *why* they were happening, *what* was causing them, or how to stop them.I underwent blood tests.I did a stress test.I wore a holter monitor.Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Bubkis.I was at the end of my rope, frustrated, angry, and unsure of what to do next as no could tell me what in the hell was wrong with me. I lived every day wondering when the palpitations would return, where I would be, and whether my heart would eventually give out.Then I discovered Magnesium Taurate.During a "building period" when I knew the palpitations were steadily growing and I was within a matter of days of being subjected to a 4-6 hour period of my heart attempting to hammer its way out of my chest, I was searching Google for *any* way of addressing, treating, or stopping these damned palpitations. I read an article about Magnesium deficiency causing heart palpitations, and specified magnesium taurate specifically because of its superior absorption rate. Figuring "What the hell" I drove to a local retailer that had it in stock and bought a bottle.I took 4 tablets initially, and within an hour the palpitations had stopped.Completely.Not, subsided, not lessened, but stopped.I was shocked. Then next day I took 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening.Still no palpitations. Nothing. Not even a hiccup.It has been a year now, and I have had no issues with palpitations, no multi-hour heart incidents that no physician can explain. If I go for a day or two and miss some doses I will feel a couple of flip-flops in my chest, but if I pop a couple of these, everything goes back to normal.I can't say enough about this product, and would pay significantly more to obtain it. If you suffer from heart palpitations and no one can give you an answer, and least give this mineral a try, as it might just give you your life back.

I'm 41. I'm overweight. I've lived a carefree life until I was 39. Each night I would barely sleep because of my sleep apnea. I would go to work, eat a high carb breakfast, and then drink sugar filled caffeinated drinks throughout the day because I was exhausted, and thought they would give me a tiny boost of energy. Little did I know I was robbing my body of magnesium. Fast forward to the past three months. I've been having extreme anxiety and stress, sometimes for no apparent reason.About three weeks ago I notice that I was having heart palpitations. I've been having a lot of stress at home and work. I was afraid to go to a doctor. I'm already on blood pressure medication, and borderline diabetic. I prayed to God, that He would either heal me, or show me what I was deficient in so I could fix it. I knew I had damaged my body from all the sugar I've been eating/drinking my life. That day I researched ways to fix heart palpitations, there was a list of breathing exercises I could try, but it was pointed out that it could also be a magnesium deficiency.I started researching magnesium, and noticed I had many of the symptoms. I started researching the best magnesium to take for anxiety and heart palpitations, and it was recommended to take Magnesium Taurate. I ordered a bottle. The day it arrived I took 2. It was a Friday and I had a stressful day at work. Within 20 minutes I felt this warm calming sensation wash over me, and oddly my anxiety seemed to subside. I took three more before bed. My palpitations didn't stop. They might have slowed down, but that was it. But I read that sometimes it can take weeks and even months for a severe magnesium deficiency to correct itself. I mention this in case you think you will get instant relief. You probably won't. Especially if your deficiency is bad enough. But hang in there and keep up with it.Something else that happened was for the first 3 days I started taking this supplement i experienced very vivid dreams. Normally when I wake up I don't remember my dreams. I've read magnesium helps with memory retention. But I wasn't expecting to remember dreams.So, I've been taking 1000 mg a day (8 pills). It's been nine days. Finally, my palpitations are nearly gone. My sleep is more restful, and I just have a better sense of well being. I used to get anxiety going to places with lots of people, and these past few days I've felt so mellow. I've greatly reduced caffeine intake and lowered my sugar intake even more. My energy levels are returning. A few other things I've noticed, my morning blood sugar levels are 15 points lower. This has been consistent, and just yesterday they were 20 points lower. i was taking cinnamon supplements but would only control my blood sugar if it spiked. This stuff is helping lower it overall. My blood pressure is starting to lower as well.I thank God for letting me find out I was magnesium deficient, and letting me find this product.

I add this to other supplements I take instead of Blood Pressure meds and this Mag. Taurate is supposed to be good for blood pressure but it also is essential in helping prevent leg cramps. There is a book called the Magnesium Miracle that that you might want to explore
