Solaray Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg | Healthy Relaxation, Bone & Cardiovascular Support (120 CT, 30 Servings)

I began having irregular heart beats a few months ago, and they slowly progressed to an almost constant occurrence (bigeminy, trigeminy beats). I went to a Cardiologist, had the holter monitor (which did pick up the beats), but was ultimately told it was benign, and to 'learn to live with them'. They attributed them to stress, but did not do any testing of mineral deficiencies to determine if they were being caused by an electrolyte or other nutritional imbalance. I did a great deal of research on finding a cure for this situation (it is very hard to try to learn to live with something heart-related, it's very scary). I tried increasing my potassium, which only helped a little, and had not considered magnesium as the problem. I read countless info on how magnesium deficiencies can cause irregular heart beats, and then searched for the best form to take. I tried Mag-Citrate, but it tore my stomach lining up (I have a sensitive stomach from having ulcers last year, so I have to be very careful about taking things that irritate it). I also tried a very expensive brand of Mag Taurate, but did not like it much, and had not noticed a change in my situation entirely. I read the Mag Glycinate was one of the best absorbed and most gentle magnesiums to take. Originally I tried caplets, and they also hurt my stomach lining tremendously. I found that capsules work best for me (I can open them and take a smaller amount that will not irritate my stomach). This brand is the best magnesium brand I've tried. Solaray has been a very reliable brand with other supplements, so I gave them a try for my magnesium, and I'm glad I did. I did find I cannot take the capsules whole because about 30 mins later it is a little hard for my sensitive stomach to handle (not terrible, but not great either), but when I open a capsule and take half with food, I have no problems. It also has fixed the heart problem. If I get an irregular beat now, it is rare, and not an ongoing problem the way it was. It took about 1-2 weeks supplementing with this to fully correct the problem (it has also corrected my muscle twitches, which was another sign of mag-deficiency), and I am going to continue using these exclusively. I know others did not like the fact that the capsules are only 100 mg each, but this is the best thing for me to keep from irritating my stomach lining (plus taking it in smaller increments keeps your body from wasting it, your body will only use what it needs and gets rid of the rest, so taking less at a time is more advisable, and mimics how we are actually supposed to be eating it in our diets).

I have read a lot of information regarding the benefits of magnesium supplements on anxiety and insomnia, including reading the book, "The Magnesium Miracle". Skeptical, magnesium struck me as an overly simplistic answer, but I had reached the end of the line with what conventional medicines and therapies had to offer. I had tried Zoloft for anxiety, but that made my sleep issues much worse, and caused a terrible disconnected feeling, ramping anxiety even further. Xanax worked great, but was in no way a long-term solution. With little to lose I decided to give magnesium a try. I first tried Nature Made Magnesium 400 mg Softgels. They caused serious diarrhea and stomach pain. Strike one. I then tried Nature's Bounty with the same results. Strike two. Both are magnesium oxide, a fancy term for laxative as it turns out. I then tried Country Life Chelated Magnesium Caps 300 mg - same results, just not as bad. Strike three. This forced me back to research magnesium further to see if there was an answer. I found several recommendations for Solaray Magnesium Glycinate. Finally, no running to the bathroom and stomach pains. Magnesium is definitely more subtle than any prescription anti-anxiety drug, but it, along with the Amino Acid L-Theanine (by Thorne Research) is working very well for me. Both are calming, and I feel much less edgy, anxious and uneasy during the day. I'm sleeping much better - which helps reduce anxiety by itself. Together, they have made a huge difference in better overall sleep and calmness during the day. Unlike some other reviewers, I actually prefer the 100 mg capsules. This allows me to dose how I want in increments of 100 mg without being stuck with one large 400 mg dose. The magnesium and Theanine are enough to restore a much more normal life for the first time in a long time. I currently take 400 mg of magnesium per day split between morning and night, but did step it up slowly - I'm sensitive to supplements and meds, so just went with the low and slow approach. I take 200-400 mg of Theanine — split between morning and night. I would highly recommend Solaray Magnesium Glycinate, especially for those with sensitive stomachs or IBS, in combination with the amino acid Theanine for anxiety and sleep related issues.

Magnesium is another mineral we are all deficient in to some extent. I believe to a very large extent. Ever notice how many people suffer from migraines? How about restless legs? Muscle cramping? That's all magnesium deficiency. It even plays a role in some seizure disorders. How do I know? Because I am one of them! I have suffered from chronic migraines for 14 years, to such an extent that out of every month I would have 1-2 days with no migraine, and then it would all start over again. For 14 years. Migraines rob you of your life, and they are serious. It has taken me 3 years - far, far longer than all the experts claim it should - to fix this issue, and I am not finished yet. I take 400mg 4x/day. When I am stressed, I need more, and when I fell down the stairs last July I had to triple my dose to keep both muscle cramps and migraines at bay. It worked, but I had to stay near the bathroom due to magnesium's laxative effect. The experts claim that once the laxative effect is reached, it is no longer absorbed. This has not been my experience, it is still absorbed, it still works; it is, however, annoying. This form is more readily absorbed than most other forms, and it is less expensive. It also has less of a laxative effect than most, if not all, other forms. By the way, magnesium aspartate is an excitotoxin - it kills brain neurons - don't use that form for migraine issues! I won't go near it... Results: my migraines are down to 1 every 6 weeks or so, and they only last 1-12 hours rather than days or weeks. Friends, take your magnesium! Prevent magnesium deficiency if you don't have the signs of it, and save your own health and your life. ~ Molly Malone

I've struggled with magnesium for years. I knew I was deficient in it, but every time I took it, I became extremely tired the next day (not to mention, I would be nauseated for about three days.) I originally started taking it because I have tremors, and I didn't find trying to soothe the tremors worth the stomach pain. However, I started to show really bad signs of deficiency, and decided to put more effort into finding magnesium that works for me. After a lot of research, I learned that magnesium glycinate does the trick for people with sensitive stomachs. Hence my search and discovery of this. I really like that I can manage my dosage. The first night I tried it, I took three pills. That was too much. Whereas I did not get any stomach issues, I was extremely tired the next day. So, I went with one pill. That was a lot better. Over the last four weeks, I have slowly gotten my dosage up to 300 mg a night. I am feeling so much better. I don't know why there are complaints about having to take 4 pills to get 400 mg. It is actually very convenient for a person such as myself. It is also a pretty good bargain, contrary to the dosage complaints. I highly recommend this to people who are sensitive to magnesium, especially those who have stomach issues.

My doctor told me to take this as preventative against migraines. I have no idea if it's "working" since migraines seem more or less random. Sometimes I'll go 8 months without one and other times I'll have one once a week for a month. My feeling is that the migraines have not decreased in frequency, but possibly decreased in severity. However, I'm also being a lot more proactive about them. I read a recent study that assessed the effectiveness of triptans vs. ergotamine vs. acetaminophen that found that effectiveness was more or less even across all of those if they are all taken at the correct time, which is as soon as symptoms are noticed. Since tylenol is over the counter and sumatriptan and ergotamine are both prescription and have crazy adverse effects, I've just been taking one or two tylenol when I notice symptoms and it does seem to act to "short circuit" the migraine. Fewer incidence of symptoms and decreased duration. However, whether that's due to the magnesium is unclear. I've been taking it long enough that I feel like it would be weird to suddenly stop taking it, but maybe I should for a few months to see if it correlates at all with migraine symptoms, everything else being the same.

Most people are deficient in magnesium my dr. said. So I researched best one and I found best price and best one here on Amazon. Here is what it has done for me. I had alot of pain in shoulders and tension in neck. This is what it was recommended for. But also besides dr. I saw a dr program that is popular on tv also. I also picked up on that dr. intimated about regularity. Well I have used this and it works for all the issues. I do use for neck shoulder pain other as well, but I cant miss a day without magnesium or I feel it. It helps migraines also you just need to give it 3 mos for that my neuro dr. said and he was right. Like any supplement check with your dr. for your issue. But for these things it really helped me!

I am on my fourth order if that tells you anything. I had been taking just magnesium and suffered from constant diarrhea. My sister, the nurse, was asking me what I took in order to help me figure it out. When I told her magnesium, she stopped me right there. That is when she mentioned milk of magnesia, and the connection became crystal clear. I don't know why I didn't put two and two together on my own. On with the story, a second sister said you have to take one with glycinate to combat that, and gave me two to take that very same day. It was instantaneous! I had an 8-hr. drive back home that day, and never once had to make an emergency stop. That day, or any day since.

I just ordered my second bottle of this product. I have tried several brands of magnesium, and it's really hard to find a good one at a reasonable price! I was previously ordering another, more expensive brand of magnesium glycinate, but then they changed their formula one day and started adding magnesium oxide into it, so it didn't work as well. (And it was still just as expensive!) I was skeptical of this one because of the cheaper price, but they have done very well for me and my husband! They work great for avoiding muscle spasms, "charlie horses" for both of us, and they seem to help with our energy levels too. We have had zero gastrointestinal effects from them as well, which is nice! We can't say the same of magnesium citrate supplements. We will keep ordering these if the quality and price stay good like they are now!
