NOW Foods Supplements, Magnesium Oxide, Enzyme Function*, Nervous System Support*, 8-Ounce

You can get more out of a serving of this powder than any other otc supplement but it tastes like Fill In The Blank

I am unable to swallow pills so I mix this in a cup of lemonade. It is flavorless and goes down better that way. Some people drinking in coffee but they recommend using cold liquid. It is part of an MD prescription.

This stuff is so relaxing. It helps me sleep at night. The quality is also really good. I don’t react to it.

Woll purchase this item again.

I bought this for my daughter who cannot swallow pills. The taste is much better than magnesium chloride drops, and more convenient than CALM (magnesium citrate). I sprinkle on her yogurt, or Kefir. Putting on top of thick Kefir prevents it from sinking down and stick to the bottom of glass like with juice. I also sprinkle on top of whipped cream & strawberries for her. It becomes slightly bitter if you leave it out too long. If you take it immediately with food, it's neutral in taste. I have stomach upset & diarrhea with Nature Made magnesium tablets (with magnesium stearate & other additives), but this pure magnesium oxide doesn't upset my tummy nor cause explosive diarrhea. It helps me to be sleepy immediately. We soaked a magnesium citrate capsule in vinegar and that took hours to dissolve, versus this powder which works immediately. Very effective for the tiny amount used, I sleep better with this product than with other forms of magnesium (capsules, Mg citrate, and Mg chloride). What I like the most is it doesn't cause excessive gas & diarrhea like other magnesiums that I tried.

I bought this based on a lot of other reviews but this product didn’t live up to expectations. It does not mix well in water. I would mix it up and a minute later all of it is settled at the bottom.

I like the ease of taking this powder. it doesn't fully dissolve in water, but that's not a bother to me. There is no taste to it at all. It does turn the water a milky color though. I did not do enough research when I bought this, or I would have passed on it, as Magnesuim OXIDE is not as well absorbed as a chelated formula. Once I bought a chelated formula, the difference was like night and day. I understand wanting to get this one as it is one of the best deals for the price...but not really if you're not getting enough into your system to do any good.

Magnesium is the most important mineral in your body. Lose your magnesium and you lose your life. Magnesium is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity, especially the activity of those enzymes involved in energy production. It also assists in calcium and potassium uptake. A deficiency of magnesium interferes with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses, causing irritability and nervousness. Supplementing the diet with magnesium can help prevent depression, dizziness, muscle weakness and twitching, and premenstral syndrome (PMS), and also aids in maintaining the body's proper pH balance and normal body temperature. Magnesium is necessary to prevent the calcification of soft tissue. This essential mineral protects the arterial linings from stress caused by sudden blood pressure changes, and plays a role in the formation of bone and in carbohydrate and mineral metabolism. Magnesium is a factor in helping to prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis,kidney stones, chronic fatigue, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrone, and a multiple of other diseases brought on by a lack of this essential mineral.I have taken 1/4 of a teaspoon of magnesium in a 8 oz. glass of water twice daily since 1989 for hypertension and it helps me maintain a normal blood pressure.Magnesium is most inexpensive, miracle mineral you will ever take. I highly recommend it.
