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

Three years ago I was having a lot of PVC's. (Premature Ventricular Contractions). I was having in excess of 15,000 per day. We were of course very worried. The concern is that over time they could decrease the ejection fraction of the heart. Ejection Fraction is one measurement of heart strength. I had read many articles on magnesium claiming that up to 90 percent of people are deficient in this important mineral. Why is that?Well the depleted soil does not have the magnesium that it once did. Plus stress, sugar and alcohol all rob the body of magnesium. What does magnesium do you ask? Well it is only responsible for 300 chemical reactions in the body. It's important for everything from heart to muscles. It's a calming mineral. My understanding is that you need to take magnesium by itself if you are deficient as taking it with calcium is counter productive as one will take from the other. I started talking this product and over time coupled with a exercise program my PVC's have dropped significantly. They dropped to 25 percent of what they were and I believe that they have dropped even further at this point in time. I will know in a month when I wear the 24 holter monitor. I hit magnesium fairly heavyand was taking 600-800mg a day of this product. I am continuing to take it but in a reduced amount. I believe it is a high quality product.As an aside my 93 year old mother-in-law was having problem sleeping and had cramps in her leg. She went to her doctor and he advised magnesium and I gave her a supply of these. She takes two at dinner and sleeps well and has no more cramps. She had a magnesium deficiency. Apparently stress, alcohol, sugar all rob the body of magnesium. This is an excellent product. At the moment my PVC's are stable and the last holter showed 3000 a day. Besides magnesium I am taking 1000mg of Taurine and 1000 L'Arginine. Both of those amino acids are important to the heart. This is some data onlineabout the positive results of treating heart electrical issues with these amino acids. Search George Eby Research and PVC's. As usual discuss with your doctor.

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.
