Carlson Chelated Magnesium 200mg, 180 Tablets

I took magnesium oxide for a number of years without a problem. I used it for healthy heart function (rhythm) and in the process found it helped with IBS (Irritable Bowel) symptoms and kept me regular. As I developed a sensitive stomach and had several bouts of bloating, ulcer irritation and pain last summer I eliminated the mag. oxide and would reintroduce it after the symptoms had subsided. I did this several times and each time the oxide was reintroduced I would develop stomach problems. I tried the Citrate form of magnesium and had the same symptoms and finally came to this product (chelated glycinate). This form of magnesium is milder on the stomach and it has caused me no problems in the last 8 months. If you use it to stay regular - I find 200mg ( 1 pill) daily keeps me just right. If you take 400mg it can make some people have stools that are too soft, but everyone is different. For people that don't have IBS and may have an occasional bout of constipation than this is a good product to take - again, 400mg is usually enough to get things moving.

I have used this product for a couple of years now. I like the combination of the magnesium. It works really well and I'm happy with it!

Order came as expected.

Great supplement. Fast shipping

I received this product earlier this month, March of 2016; it expires in August of 2020. It contains 180 uncoated tablets of chelated magnesium (magnesium chelate) around 1"x0.25"x0.25" (may be a little smaller). I don't have any issues swallowing them with a gulp of water. This item was specifically recommended by my doctor (a doctor of osteopathy) based on his research. I had switched away for a time due to the cost, and have switched back as Amazon has them for a much more reasonable price than when I first looked. Pro's - High bio-availability (your body absorbs a high percentage of the supplement compared to other delivery methods, like magnesium oxide) - No bad taste (unless you chew them!) - Long shelf life - No digestive disturbance - No aftertaste - Tablets have a tendency to break perfectly in half - Completely prevents my heart palpitations when I'm trying to fall asleep! Con's - If chewed, they taste chalky (so don't chew them!) - There is no cotton filler in the bottle, so you may end up with tablets broken in half - just press the sharp corners into a solid object to dull them and they're fine

It's legit, I didn't do too much research in the company, but it seems alright for the price. There is quality in this, I can feel it's doing it's job, because in the morning you will have to go. Careful, it is also a laxative, in addition to what it is, THE PILLS ARE VERY LARGE. My best suggestion is to take with water because it is very powdery. Pros: -Many uses -Healthy, in moderation Cons: -Laxative -Horse pills, hard to swallow. Magnesium is still under debate for all its health benefits, but I feel happier and healthier taking it. I might be a placebo effect, but I will take what I can get. Can't really overdose, but don't take more than two a day if needed.

I started using this product 5 years ago. I was frequently having muscle cramps in my feet and legs soon after my diagnosis of osteoporosis. After doing some reading I learned that taking a magnesium supplement could help. I purchased Carlson Chelated Magnesium 200mg. It did help. I found my muscle cramps stopped completely if I took one half tablet daily. They are incredibly easy to break in half by hand, with no need to use a pill cutter. When that bottle was gone I purchased another. Then when that bottle was empty and I needed more magnesium, I decided to try another brand which Amazon had a banner for showing it was a #1 best seller. So I purchased that brand, it was Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium (200 Mg Elemental). I started using the Doctor's brand 2 months ago and I immediately started getting the muscle cramps again. I upped the dosage half a tablet to one full tablet daily and still suffer these frequent cramps. There is definitely a huge difference in which product works best for me. Carlson Chelated Magnesium 200mg tablets is what I am reordering and the only product I will trust for relief of muscle cramps. My Doctor's brand of magnesium is getting tossed in the trash. Carlson's brand of magnesium has done so much to improve the quality of my life. I highly recommend it.

I take this every night! Helps me with my sleep. I really enjoy this product. I would recommend it to anyone who struggles falling asleep quickly.
