Carlson Buffered Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg, High Absorption Magnesium Supplement, Supports Relaxation, Sleep & Muscle Function, 180 Tablets

great products, I have been using this magnesium but i wish they had a 100mg because some times I need to use 300 mg or 350, if they had 100mg I just had to take the 200mg pill and the 100mg pill, and for 350 just had to take the 200mg pill, one 100mg pill and cut another 100mg to just take 50mg.

All Magnesium is Not Created Equal. If you're taking magnesium supplements for their health benefits, you are much better served by taking a Chelated form, rather than simple (and cheaper) Magnesium Oxide. Chelation, in this context, simply means that the magnesium has been combined with the amino acid glycine. It's complicated, but the simplest explanation is that the amino acid works synergistically with the magnesium, to enhance the mineral's absorption into your body's cells. Believe me, I've tried many magnesium supplements over the years and this, by far, is my hands-down favorite, even at its "Cadillac" price. If you're taking this to help maintain a normal heart rhythm, it's worth the price. Also, if you're trying to avoid muscle cramps, aid your digestion, sleep better, or just feel better in general, it's the go-to, Premium Choice. My second-favorite brand just replaced 80% of its chelated form with cheaper magnesium oxide. And guess what? 3/4 of the way through the bottle, my body knew it. My electolyte levels got out of balance, I started having midnight wakeups, then, in a few weeks, muscle cramps, and finally, started enjoying the pleasures of harmless heart palpitations. It took me a couple of weeks to trace the source of the problem, but, sure enough, the other company had changed their formula. So I'm back to Carlson to stay. You can get a great deal for this supplement through Amazon's Subscribe & Save service. I'd also recommend that you check out this book to learn more about the necessity and importance of magnesium supplementation for helping such diverse complaints as insomnia, muscle cramps, constipation, heart health, mood, energy, and much, much more: The Magnesium Factor . If you have a question about this supplement, please feel free to leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can!

Ona of the best Magnesium I regularly use

I was looking for the tablet form of magnesium glycinate for my mom, who has trouble swelling the larger capsule form. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find tablet form anywhere in the stores. Looked on Amazon and quickly found it and ordered it for her. She’s very happy and can now can take it daily without any difficulty.

Good product!

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

They work well to help sleep for short periods of time. Once the body gets used to them, you need to give them a couple of weeks' break. Not fun to swallow.

I have tried several brands of magnesium. This br far is the best brand I have ever used. It works great with no unwanted side effects.
