NOW Magnesium 400mg, 180 Veg Capsules

Great stuff!

I started taking Magnesium consistently about 5 years ago after acute heart failure. Until then I took it in the evening as assurance to move my bowels the next morning if I was having problems with constipation. So, it was not a consistent supplementation, until I discovered this when I my post operative instructions were to add magnesium supplementation.Magnesium’s benefits can include reduced symptoms from conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue and insomnia. Magnesium may also provide protection from a number of chronic diseases, especially those associated with aging and stress.Recently re-discovered as an overlooked key to good health, a number of medical researchers are recommending increases to the RDA for magnesium — sometimes suggesting as much as double the current recommendations — to ensure protection from diseases such as osteoporosis and hypertension. I now take 800 mg at night with no ill effects of loose bowels and have all but cancelled out my magnesium deficiency.Necessary for good health, and a vital component within our cells, magnesium’s benefits help our bodies maintain balance, avoid illness, perform well under stress, and maintain a general state of good health.I have been buying NOW products from the Health Food store for years as I trust the brand and am happy that is more accessible and economical outside of places like Whole Foods which can get pricey.

Not my personal favorite...I usually Nature's Life but when I went to purchase it again it had gone up in price over $5 and being the cheapo that I am, I really wanted to stay within what I budget for my supplements...so I thought I'd give this a try.I normally take 2,000mg at night of the Nature's Life and love it. When taking just two of these it gives me diarrhea, which has happened in the past when I've used Magnesium Oxide. The body does not absorb Oxide as much as it does Citrate.Overall, though, I need the magnesium and since this is a great price and I really like Now brand supplements, it's not the end of the world for me.If you don't take magnesium and are considering this product, I would recommend it. Look up all the benefits it has for our health. I specifically take it for constipation, anxiety, leg/feet cramps, and energy...all significantly improved (cramps completely gone) since taking magnesium.It's best to start at a lower dosage and work your way up. Some magnesium may give you diarrhea when starting out- if it does happen, either lower your dosage a bit, if you can, and gradually increase. If you still can't seem to take it without getting diarrhea, you may want to consider a form of Magnesium that is better absorbed by the body...including Citrate and Malate, which you can find for a good price here on Amazon as well. I've taken the Now Magnesium Citrate as well and works great. The only reason I didn't get that one this time is because I had never taken this specific one (Now complex) and thought I'd give it a try.

What can I say? There are a few supplements that I use often and this is one of them. The more I read about Magnesium the more I realize its a must have with our deteriorating diets and depleted soils we never get enough magnesium in our diets. The benefits are very noticeable and Its been natures Xanax for me. If you think you need Xanax I dare you to try this first. It'll save you a lot of pain. Read about what it does for bowel movements and be careful not to take too much. You'll know you have when you cant get off the toilet hahaha. I wont list every benefit but I'll say one more thing. Science is coming around to the fact that there might be other factors that cause people to have heart attacks that have nothing to do with cholesterol. Wrong Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio and lack of Magnesium are looking at more likely candidates for heart disease. Even butter would be ok if it weren't a bi-product of corn-fed cows loaded with Omega 6. We need more omega 3. Try Astaxanthin........its amazing as well. Understand thought that only 85% of people repond to Astaxanthin as it is a Carotenoid. Some peoples systems don't process these things. No problem, just no benefit or effect.

I won't waste your time telling you all about Magnesium, as you can and probably have gotten that information already. This particular product by NOW is one of the best I've found out there and very well priced in the market. I've been using NOW products for about 10 years and I've never run into an issue with even a single capsule, and all products tend to be very fresh.NOW magnesium is no different. There are no digestive issues, and the reasons that I take magnesium have been consistently and similarly treated with this product as well as many others from NOW. Therefore, the reason to hold onto this name brand is that it has continued to do well for me for a long time. I can't say that about several other brands. What more can you say about supplements other than that they work, they are fresh, they are consistent, and they are value priced. I've turned several other family members and friends onto this particular product for a variety of reasons and have no qualms about recommending it to anyone else.

Easy to order and find on-line. Exactly what we want.
