Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Citrate) | Supplement for Sleep, Heart Health, Muscles, and Metabolism* | 180 Capsules

I manage intense anxiety daily. My psychiatrist is quite forward thinking in her practice and together, we try alternatives before we move to prescriptions. She recommended I try magnesium citrate to help with the tense and rigid muscles I experience when I am feeling anxious, as magnesium has muscle relaxing effects. When taken regularly as a preventative, I do notice my body is not as tense. This does not work for in the moment relief; for the most benefit, does have to be taken regularly, in my experience. The capsules are bigger than I prefer, the benefit far outweighs the capsule size. Also in my experience, taking my morning dose AFTER breakfast and my evening dose AFTER dinner prevents stomach upset; taken before, with food or on an empty stomach guarantees me an upset stomach. As with any supplement, diet or lifestyle change, partner with a medical professional to determine the best course, plan and dosing.

I have been using Mg for some time to keep me regular. I am taking 4 capsules a day, 2 in the morning and 2 before bed. I am not totally regular and think I need to increase my dose. But what I have to say is that I tried a lower price Mg, since I take so much, and with that brand I had significant digestive problems. It took me a few weeks to realize it was the Mg causing the problem and I switched back to Pure Encapsulations. My physician recommended this brand so I have proven to myself it is worth the price. I have had no issues with delivery or packaging from this vendor. In reading some other reviews, I do worry about there being counterfeit versions as I have heard about when buying through Amazon but so far I have had no problems. I would expect a vendor to take back a bottle that is clearly defective or potentially tampered with and hope they make good in it.

This is the best magnesium by far that helps with constipation. Does not give laxative effect like Most magnesium citrate blends! I was nervous to try it since I knew mag citrate can give laxative effect, but totally worth it. Perfect dosage and absorbency!

My naturopath told me to take this product. Usually magnesium citrate upsets my stomach but this one doesnt. And for someone who usually has a problem swallowing larger pills these go down surprisingly easy. I am very happy with the product and it does what I need it to do. I also take the one with calcium too because I am in my 40s and have to start worrying about osteoporosis.

No problems swallowing it. It is as advertised.

No fillers and additives. Just good quality magnesium.

Recommended by my doctor for quality.

I purchased this item due to finding out that it would help with leg cramps/charlie horses in my calves and also migraines. I was given magnesium while in the ER for a migraine, new to me! I have been using this product for a week and have not had one leg cramp/charlie horse in almost a week. I noticed they started to decrease almost immediately and are now gone. I am also sleeping better, I take sleeping pills due to insomnia and Im hoping to stop those eventually. I have had no issues with them bothering my stomach, as some supplements have done in the past. Overall Im feeling better and will continue to take these.

like this product good for muscles

I take it at bedtime and know it doesn’t have random fillers to aggravate my thyroid or gluten sensitivity. It relaxes sore, worked out muscles and calms the mind and before I know it, I can’t read another page and go to sleep.
