NOW Supplements, Magnesium Citrate 200 mg, Enzyme Function*, Nervous System Support*, 250 Count (Pack of 1)

Take it at night with vitamin D3 and K2. It really helps keep bone strong and you sleep and feel more relaxed..Careful with your order Amazon slipped in doctors choice on me same product not the same quality!

****Please note this review is for the powder form of Magnesium Citrate. ****You need this if you suffer from constipation. It works great at keeping you regular. Many people are commenting about a change in quality. I have only used it recently (new mixture) and I have no complaints. No it doesn't 100% dissolve in liquid, but who cares? It works. I'm happy and my overall health has improved (blood sugar, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety). I'm saddened that we aren't told about this by our general practitioners. I needed magnesium years ago I'm sure, but I didn't know. I'm grateful for this product. I'm telling everyone I know about it.Also when you use this the directions say to mix with cold water. I find it hard to drink with water alone. I drink my magnesium with cold juice, orange, lemonade, cherry etc. It's much easier to take that way. Also, the directions says to take 1/2 a tsp. If you have severe constipation, you may need more than that amount to see an effect. Find the amount you need based on your on individual needs/symptoms. I take 3 to 4 teaspoons.Also, the capsule forms did now work for me initially because I think I was so stopped up, but now I love them. The capsules are easier to take because there is no taste. Yes, they are big, but if you can swallow large pills it's not an issue. If you are going to be taking magnesium to have regular bowel movements, you may want to start with the powder to soften/ loosen things up and then continue with the capsules for maintenance. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water.This product (powder and capsules) are life changing for anyone who suffers from chronic constipation.

I subscribe to a third-party testing lab and this was one of their top picks. It contains what it says it does and doesn’t have any contaminants or toxins, and this citrate form is more efficiently absorbed by the body than the cheaper magnesium oxide variety and is a good value for the price. Highly recommended.

I first started taking magnesium with calcium and zinc supplement after my doctor's recommendation. I was told the magnesium helps with the absorption of calcium. I later found out magnesium helps keep me regular and gets rid of calf muscle and foot cramps. I've experimented with magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide but both didn't seem to do anything. The NOW brand magnesium citrate got me results. I'm just amazed at all the different variations - and applications - just for one mineral! There's a lot of conflicting information out there so I just go with how my body responds.The NOW pills are huge as others have mentioned. I only need ONE of these per day and I rush the tablet down with several big gulps of water, with my head tilted slightly back. I must have food in my stomach beforehand or else the pill will give me a terrible stomach ache. Someone else had mentioned the hunger pang feeling after eating this supplement and I've experienced the same. I read somewhere that it's the citric acid in the "citrate" binder that causes an acid burning sensation, so it makes sense it'd be bad on an empty stomach. Taking it after breakfast solves the problem.I'll be trying the magnesium glycinate next since I've already finished the NOW bottle. It's a gentler form and I hope the magnesium glycinate will work to alleviate leg cramps and also curb constipation. If not, I'll just re-order the NOW brand since I know it works for me.Tip on heading off calf cramps: While in bed, stretch the back muscle of the legs by pulling the toes up towards you. When I feel a tightness in the calf muscle, I can block cramps by bending my feet upwards. If I remember to do this exercise regularly, I can minimize the frequency of these painful spasms.

I replaced my melatonin as it wasn't doing anything for me anymore. One of my friends recommended this for me and it works WONDERS. I've been taking it for a while now and LOVE IT!!!

Great
