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

I read hundreds of reviews on MANY magnesium products and ended up trying this one. So glad i did!! Ive had lifelong constipation off and on and recently it became severe. Nearly 5 days, no movement...not even a whisper. Mind you, this was after over a month of taking a 50 Billion highly rated probiotic found on here--that was the beginning of where i now ended up. Also being older and not wanting to take an overkill of a chemical laxative that would cause abrupt relay races to the bathroom, i opted for this form of magnesium with doses i can control. I took two in the morning with a few bites of food and though i heard tummy noises (no discomfort whatsoever happened) but yet no movement by evening either. I read one review that stated if one was really bound up to take 4 in both a.m. and p.m. I took the calculated risk and took 4 in the evening with a larger dinner. I also drink A LOT of water daily normally but sipped on some more before bed. I had a lot of gut movement and noise (again, no discomfort whatsoever) before falling asleep. By morning i had some movement but not much. However, throughout the day and into the next, i continued to have more small movements. No racing to the bathroom like i was on fire. I didnt want to risk taking more that next day as i took a total of 6 in one day. NOT a recommended dose by the bottle....but i was desperate. 24 hours after that i took 2 at dinner. The next morning i woke to a NORMAL and uneventful movement. My guts are finally back to making normal noises along with my natural contractions moving things down the assembly line. I realize this is all pretty much TMI but if youre here and reading this, you are most likely in the same or similar boat and want to know if this stuff works. Its only been a few days for me but this supplement helped me immensely. Ill be taking 2 every p.m. and adjust accordingly along the way if needed. Ill also update this review with its effectiveness over time. We all react differently to supplements and i hope this helps others as it did for me. My only advice is to take with food as i dont know if it would cause discomfort without, and seeing as how severe my problem was and taking the dose i did, most likely would have. If you stuck around this long, i pray this supplement works for you and my review hopefully helpful in some way.

I take magnesium citrate regularly and have used various brands with mixed satisfaction, but I LOVE these. First of all, the dosage of 400mg is enough so that I dont have to take too many pills daily. Often other brands are so low that I have to use so many pills that the bottle is a lot more expensive than it seems. But when Ive bought a brand that has this dosage, most often the pills themselves are too large to swallow comfortably--theyre enormous! These, however, are a normal size, and I have no problem with them. I supplement for health (most people are low in magnesium, and Ive experienced leg cramps when I dont get enough magnesium) and for regularity--its a way to manage my chronic constipation without having to rely on laxatives. With Pure Encapsulations I can supplement best of any other brands Ive tried. While I received this product at a reduced price in exchange for my review, I value Amazon reviews too highly to offer any but a totally honest review of this brand. I plan to continue to reorder at full price as it truly is the best magnesium citrate Ive ever purchased.

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.

All to like

Easy to swallow. Have used for 1 year and take before going to bed. Helps with digestion

It may be easy to swallow, what I didn’t like some off the pills were coming apart in the bottle and some were already apart in the bottle, I was disappointed, I could cry about it, what’s the point.

I had been taking Natural Calm for several months after discovering what a huge beneficial impact it had on my sleep. However I was recently diagnosed with both GERD and Barretts Esophagus and decided I likely shouldnt be drinking something with citric acid right before laying down every night. Note - no doctor advised there was any connection between Natural Calm and my condition or advised me to discontinue using it, I just decided to eliminate it as I made changes to my diet / lifestyle. I still swear that stuff is awesome for sleep! I decided to try this instead. My functional medicine doc said this is the brand his practice always suggests. I took between 2-3 capsules a day, spread apart with meals. I didnt have any negative side effects from this brand, but sadly it didnt have any impact on my sleep. This brand / form of magnesium may be great for other conditions, but if youre looking for improved sleep Im afraid you may not find it with this. After trying this, I tried InnovixLabs Advanced Magnesium- High Absorption Magnesium Malate & Magnesium Glycinate and it worked GREAT. Again, this may not be a good fit depending on what symptoms youre trying to alleviate with magnesium, but it replicated Natural Calm for my sleep. I take 4 capsules a day, again spread apart with meals (2am + 2pm) and havent seen any negative side effects.

This magnesium really works! I got it to help me sleep and for bowel issues. I have been using it for years and my magnesium level on my bloodwork is always on par.

I take this at bedtime to support healthy sleep and rest and I think it has made a great difference!

I just received the product today. Will edit my review after I’ve taken them for a couple of weeks to see if they work for the particular issue I’m hoping it will help with. With that said, I am writing this to comment on the placing of the label. You had one job!!! Whoever is putting the additional bar code/product label on the bottle please utilize the entire BLANK space on the bottle to place it. Do NOT place the labels over the extremely important dosage information listed on the manufacture label. Mind you I had to use goo gone to remove the label down to be able to see the dosage.
