Getting older cannot be avoided, but aches and pains can be!
"Purely Holistic has done it again! Another awesome product that actually does what it is supposed to do!
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heart beat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps regulate blood glucose levels and aid in the production of energy and protein.
Magnesium glycinate is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium capsules you can take. It's a good choice if you want to raise your levels quickly. For those like me, with no stomach acid, it's a good choice since it absorbs quickly so the body can actually benefit from it. Unlike some supplements that take too long to dissolve - my stomach will flush them out into the small intestines before my body can get any benefit.
Purely Holistic contacted me and let me know they had a Magnesium capsule and I immediately ordered a bottle, knowing that if this product is anything like their others, it would far surpass any other brands I have tried.
I have been taking 400mg of Magnesium for over 3 years as advised by my natural doctor for migraines. When I miss a day, I can tell. Sometimes I do not want to take another pill so I will "forget" some of my natural meds (I take a lot on a daily basis due to no stomach acid) and I also do not want to overdose on anything, so I try to back off when I can. I was pleased that Purely Holistic offers their Magnesium in 200mg doses because I am in charge of the amount I take and when. I can take only 200mg on a day that I plan to soak in some Epsom Salts (Magnesium), or I can take 200mg in the morning and 200mg at night. Even though 400mg is the suggested dose from my doctor, there are times I try to back down on some of my natural meds and the 200mg tablets from Purely Holistic gives me that opportunity.
I am still using up my previous brand of Magnesium, which is a 400mg capsule, so I cannot attest to the product personally, but my husband has had marvelous results. The day after my Purely Holistic Magnesium arrived, my husband told me his legs have been waking him up at night with cramps. He said he has made sure to eat a banana or two every day and can't understand why his legs are still cramping. I jumped up and grabbed the new bottle of Purely Holistic Magnesium and immediately opened it and gave him a tablet to take immediately. I gave him another tablet at bedtime and he woke up the next morning without having any leg cramps.
This was over two weeks ago and he has continued taking one Magnesium in the morning with his morning dose of Armour (natural thyroid) and another Magnesium at night with his nightly does of Armour. He is able to take the morning dose with no food and says it does not affect his stomach at all. He says, "No more leg cramps and I feel like I am sleeping better!" He doesn't take pills very good, especially large ones, and I was a little worried that he would not be able to take this Magnesium since it is larger than his Armour.
It measures approximately 2 1/4 cm (centimeters, NOT inches,) but it is elongated and slimmer on the ends so he said it was no problem at all to take. Considering the fact that he has taken it over 28 times with no problems, I'd say it's a keeper.
Getting older cannot be avoided, but aches and pains can! My husband just turned 51 years old. He's in very good health, eats healthy ( most of the time... ) and exercises regularly. He has a job that keeps him mobile most of his 10-12 hour shifts. He is on Armour for his hypothyroid (but has been stepping down the dose since his thyroid has FINALLY started working some on it's own!) He also gets (from me) a weekly (or sometimes more as needed) Vitamin B12 injection, along with Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Folic Acid for better absorption. Other than that regimen, he has never taken any other supplements. With the onset of the leg cramps with no outside reason, we knew it was time to add Magnesium to his daily routine. I am so glad Purely Holistic was there to make sure he received the best Magnesium there is!"
Quality product that actually works, but can become somewhat dependent on it.
"This product gets 5 stars. I’ve been taking one 200mg pill almost every night for the past year. The pros? It has absolutely helped with my overall sleep quality… and in case people don’t know magnesium is said to increase seratonin production in the gut.. thus making you happier. I have to say… I’m pretty sure I’m slightly old dependent on these at this point. When I skip taking this for 2 days I’m an emotional wreck… feeling low, not as energetic, and even crying. But once I take them again even after one night I can tell the difference.
I don’t know if that’s good or bad. It’s a natural vitamin that is good for you for a myriad of reasons. It helps lower cortisol, super good for the brain, helps with sleep quality etc etc… but just be cautious on taking this every day bc once you stop.. you WILL notice a difference."
Great Dosage; Easy to swallow
"I wanted a pill that was 200mg and easy to swallow and I got both in this! I like taking 200 mg just before bed because I can always take more if I need to. But, I appreciate having the option of 200mg tablets. I also love the ease with which I can swallow them. It is a nice design for just that."
