Magnesium Bisglycinate 100% Chelate No-Laxative Effect - Maximum Absorption & Bioavailability, Fully Reacted & Buffered - Healthy Energy Muscle Bone & Joint Support - Non-GMO Project Verified - 90 ct

Great Magnessium supplement, and since it was on sale I purchased two. I take before bedtime and it helps aleviate leg cramps. I really appreciater that the capsules are so small and easy to swallow.

I have Autism, and so magnesium is extra important for me. If that weren't bad enough, none of the foods I am willing to eat contain enough magnesium to keep me from being deficient in magnesium, so I really don't get any dietary magnesium at all (I probably get a little bit, but it's nowhere near enough to keep me from being very deficient). I've seen extremely long lists of foods I could eat every day that would keep my magnesium levels up, but none of them appeal to me at all. I would seriously have to force myself to eat them. Who wants to live like that? I turned 39 years old last month, and so it's more important than ever for me to make sure I am getting plenty of magnesium every day.For a long time, I was trying to keep my magnesium levels up with a buffered magnesium bisglycinate in a powdered form that has the following inactive ingredients: Magnesium bisglycinate chelate‚ magnesium oxide‚ citric acid‚ adipid acid‚ stevia leaf extract. Yeah, it has lots of magnesium oxide in it. Not good! To make it worse, the Supplement Facts panel says this:Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate 997mg / *Magnesium (As Bisglycinate Chelate) 179mg / 45%Each serving is half of a teaspoon. I took one serving when I woke up, and another right before bed. I had to force myself to do the work of mixing it with a little bit of water and then drink it. It was palatable thanks to the Stevia Leaf Extract, but still, I really hated it. I always wished I could just find a tiny capsule to take.So yeah, that powder was ok, but it wasn't *great*. Unfortunately, I was living in ignorance and I thought this was as good as it could possibly get for me. After all, I never found a capsule or tablet or pill form that was small enough for me to swallow, and I also couldn't find a better source of magnesium in a powdered form that was palatable. So, I just kept ordering this stuff without doing any occasional shopping around to see what might be new on the market. I would sometimes have to read what the benefits of magnesium are to help keep me motivated to continue taking that powdered form, but I would usually sit there wishing I could actually experience those benefits - or at least *notice* them. I just thought I was out of luck because I have Autism. I did notice a difference in my ability to swallow bigger capsules and pills when I would go too long without taking that magnesium, so I at least had that.Recently, I had to order more of my powdered magnesium but it was out of stock everywhere and the manufacturer said it would be 4-6 weeks before I could get some more from them or from *any* retailer! That would've meant I would have gone about 2-3 weeks without any magnesium at all! So, I looked around on Amazon and I actually found a few encapsulated magnesium supplements I wanted to try, including this BioSchwartz magnesium. While trying to narrow my choice down to just 1 (I have a limited income), it became more and more obvious the BioSchwartz magnesium was by far the best choice, so I confidently ordered a bottle.I started taking it on May 11th and now it's May 28th, and I just want to shout it from the rooftops that this magnesium supplement is fantastic! I take 1 when I wake up and 1 right before bed and it only requires just a tiny sip of water. For the first time in my life, I'm actually experiencing absolutely all of the reported benefits of getting enough magnesium every day! It's awesome! I'm also not getting any of those unwanted heavy-feeling physical effects from ingesting all of those filler ingredients. I mean, now that I have this comparison to go by, I can tell you that it's like the benefits from such inferior magnesium supplements get muffled or like they're hiding behind a thick fog or something. With this BioSchwartz magnesium, I can honestly feel the quality and potency and purity. All I get are the benefits of magnesium and nothing else! I honestly think this is what it feels like to get plenty of dietary magnesium. I already get plenty of B-6 (P-5-P), Folate (Metafolin), and B12 (Methylcobalamin from "nugget" lozenges), and I also take a lot of other amazing supplements including Fermented Cod and Skate Liver Oil and Concentrated Butter Oil, so yeah. :) I'm all set now! I finally feel great! This magnesium has made a huge difference. Looking back to before I started taking this and comparing then to now, it's like I wasn't getting *ANY* magnesium before.The capsules are the tiny #4 capsules that have a capacity of 210 mg. None of these capsules contain any less than 200 mg of magnesium, and most of them are filled to capacity. So, each capsule contains about 200-210mg of non-buffered Albion Minerals TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, and the capsules themselves are these harmless AND TINY high-quality Vcaps® Plus brand capsules. Perhaps the best part is the body can utilize all of 200 mg of the magnesium, unlike that powdered form that had 997 mg per serving but only 179 mg could be absorbed. This is the magnesium supplement I have been waiting for!In case you're wondering about whether it gives me any sort of unwanted effects on bowel movements or any other related things like that, I am very happy to report that I don't feel anything that I don't like unless I take too much (which is to be expected from taking too much magnesium). This is everything I have always wanted in a magnesium supplement!

I love this brand... These pills are very effective.. They work right away, no bad taste when I put them in my tea.. do not have the laxative effect at all. Very gentle on your stomach, always help me fall asleep too

Works well to promote sleep onset.

I’ve been using these magnesium capsules for over five years. I like the small size, it makes it very easy to swallow and I have faith in the company that’s a quality product.

I have been using this magnesium glycinate for over a year. I am definitely satisfied with my sleep. I set a phone alarm to remember to take it about 2-2.25 hrs before I intend to go to bed. I absolutely love the tiny capsules. I can pop in three at once and because of their size, they still are easily swallowed with one drink of water. It was really challenging trying to decide which magnesium glycinate to take in reference to ingredients, mg, size, cost and reviews. I made a spreadsheet of maybe 12 categories. This is the one that stood out for me. I have no regrets and will continue to take this. I definitely have it set up on a subscribe and save plan. I receive a notice, then it shows up on my doorstep before it is needed. I do take three each evening. I have them auto-shipping on a 4 month plan.

I was so happy to see the small capsules. Very easy to swallow; no problems with these.I take two daytime to stave off muscle cramps, spasms, and twitching; three before bed to help with sleep - works like a charm.Recommend!

I really like this formulation and although I do find it a little funny that the serving is three capsules I understand because it's nice that they're small and as you can imagine, the bottle is quite full so it's definitely not a problem. I find that with a lot of supplements I have tried I don't usually feel much of an effect however, I actually do feel like when I take it at night before bed the next day I feel honestly more rested than when I don't which is a really pleasant surprise!Also, I can completely vouch for the claim of no laxative effect as I'm kind of sensitive to things of that nature.
