Wow!! This supplement is a literal lifesaver! After suffering (and I seriously mean SUFFERING) through years of SEVERE insomnia (10 years to be exact), spending THOUSANDS of dollars on supplements, lab tests, acupuncture, and prescription sleep meds, this product brought my insomnia to an end in three days. 1-2 of these before bed now nets about 7-8 hours of sleep, when just days before I struggled to get 1-2 hours of sleep per night with prescription sleep meds. I had tried different brands and different types of Magnesium prior to this, only to find myself with diarrhea or my mind stimulated and racing. Not with this. Just feel physically and mentally calm now. If you've been suffering with insomnia like I have, please give it a try. Really.
Im always weary to post long reviews because I dont want anyone to think I was paid, this was for or that it is sponsored. THIS IS NOT. I was at my son's football practice one day and a fellow mother and I were discussing her daughters seizures and what she takes, has taken and this came up. She was switching her prescriptions because she was having a ton of seizures on medication that didnt really do much for her in that regard. With a few changes, she has about 5 seizures a day vs 20. One of the meds / vitamins that she takes is this. The mom and her mother also started taking this daily and they have more energy and have lost a few pounds.
This caught my attention. I have major anxiety, cannot sleep well (light sleeper), was always tired, started losing my hair, I have a minor thyroid issue, am anemic, etc. Im not saying it cures everything, but in combination with the other pills I take and a few changes to my sleeping habits, its one of my go to daily vitamins. I take this, Vitamin B (From this same company), Biotin and a thyroid pill. I disconnect from electronics at least one hour before I go to sleep, I exercise 3-4 days a week now for about an hour. In combination with all these pills, I feel I have been more pleasant to be around, less moody, I have a TON more energy ( I dont need a nap during the day when I take these, when before I crashed by 2pm) and I use the restroom regularly. Because I take 4 different pills, I have shifted them around to identify which work best and I have come to the conclusion that this and the thyroid are two together that are super beneficial for me.
I dont take them with food as they recommend because I hate taking pills. And I only take one a day. Hope this helps if you are on the fence! Promise, game changer!
Most magnesium is difficult for the body to use. I have a PARA-thyroid condition (NOT thyroid--this gland gives calcium/magnesium/potassium to the body in a usable form--without the gland or a substitute the person dies pretty quickly !). So I depend on excellent, usable calcium, magnesium and potassium three times a day.
Having done a lot of research, and being pointed in this direction by those more knowledgeable than myself in the medical field, I tracked this product down. If you need magnesium, it is essential! It's GLYCINATE. Unlike the magnesium you will find in drug stores and on the "health" section of other store shelves.
Anyone with malfunctioning parathyroid glands would need magnesium (along with the right kind and dosage of calcium, and potassium. Also vitamin D.
This company provides the best source of magnesium that I can find. And my lab tests over the years have revealed that it is works exactly as needed for me.
I have Hashimoto and was having trouble sleeping and staying asleep. Even slight noises would disturb me. I was never able to get good rested nights. This helped me a lot fix my sleep issues. I take 3 tablets after dinner.
I also had bowel issues and was constipated. My doctor put me on colace and said I can take it life long which I did not prefer. This product really made it easy and I no longer take colace.
This had the highest "Ingredients safety" rating on Labdoor's top 10 ranking (by quality), overall scoring 4th place, I think it deserves first place due to said ingredients safety rating. How they do the safety rating is unknown to me, if it is at all accurate I cant say for sure. However, this brand seems to pride itself for its purity (hence the name), so I am going with this as my source of magnesium.

Description
Magnesium activates the enzymes necessary for a number of physiological functions, including neuromuscular contractions, cardiac function, and the regulation of the acid-alkaline balance in the body. It is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats; also for energy production, and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. This vital mineral also helps utilize B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
This is a great compounded magnesium, helpful for improving sleep, preventing leg cramps and does not affect the bowels (ie cause diarrhea) like other magnesiums. (Get Pure Encapsulations' mag. citrate if you are constipated and want help going to the bathroom more often.) I take 4 capsules nightly, which is a lot. Most people can take just 1-2 to get the benefits for which they're looking. Love this brand.
Was very pleased with this purchase. As I got older there were things that made me seem like I wasn't hitting on all cylinders. Not sleeping through the night etc. Since taking the Magnesium I now sleep through the night and I am not as anxious as I had been. It's been a really big help to me.,
A few years ago I had what seemed like a heart attack. I went to the cardiologist and was diagnosed with MVP and given beta blockers that made me feel like I was dying and couldn't breathe. I researched alternative therapies and found that around 700mg/day of Magnesium could help. It does more than help - its literally one of very few supplements I take that actually work and do more than what I expected. No more heart palpitations or arrhythmia! Truly, it works, give it a try. I take four of these pills at night and in addition to keeping my heart in check it helps me sleep deeply and keeps me regular. This specific kind of Magnesium (glycinate) is the best for this condition and for all around absorption without any negative side effects. I know it sounds too good to be true, but this is one of those "if i were on an island and could only take one thing", Magnesium Glycinate would be it.
My neurologist recommended I start taking magnesium, vitamin B-2 and feverfew for chronic headaches that have plagued me for years. This Magnesium Glycinate has helped reduce my headaches, and even stopped an uncontrollable twitch I had around one of my eyes. It has also allowed me to decrease the amount of one prescription headache medication - which was causing me unpleasant side-effects.
Magnesium (Glycinate) is the ONLY form of magnesium that does not give me diarrhea or really upset my stomach. I am SO pleased to have found this form of Magnesium!
All of the "combination" migraine/headache medicines I tried gave me diarrhea. "One a day" multi-mineral supplements also contain Magnesium Oxide or Magnesium Citrate which make me queasy, and if I take in combination with other Magnesium, lead to upset stomach or diarrhea.
Over several months of trial and error, I found I get an upset stomach from Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium L- Threonate, and to a lesser extent even time-released form of Magnesium Malate (MagSRT).
(I have also found Theraworx Relief Fast-Acting Foam for Leg Cramps, Foot Cramps and Muscle Soreness, 7.1oz is a topical form of Magnesium I can tolerate, but I only need topical magnesium on occasion, if a muscle-tension headache occurs. I don't need this often as the Magnesium Glycinate has greatly reduced my chronic tension headaches.)
Excellent product for the best type magnesium. I was taking another brand and was getting Charley Horses through the night. I switched to Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate and no more Charley Horses. I've always taken the glycinate type magnesium as was recommended by several of my natural doctors in the past, but I guess all glycinate products aren't the same. This is a really GOOD one.
