NOW Supplements, Magnesium 400 mg, Enzyme Function*, Nervous System Support*, 180 Veg Capsules

I was super skeptical when my wife told me to try magnesium supplements to help me sleep. I thought the idea was ridiculous, but I was tired of taking sleeping pills that basically had me wrecked and impaired my functionality the next day, so I gave it a shot. I was shocked when I actually felt sleepy about a half hour after taking these, and that I slept through the night but felt great the next morning, not drugged. They really do work, and via a mineral supplement, not some pharmaceutical. If you have trouble sleeping, definitely give this a shot.

Pros: 1. The serving size is 1 capsule, not 2 (unlike some competing products which try to dupe their customers into thinking they will get twice as much Mg per pill or capsule than they actually will) 2. Relatively small, low-friction capsules that are easy to swallow 3. Reasonably priced, though not the least expensive 4. Simple, relatively non-toxic ingredients Cons (all minor): 1. The included magnesium compounds are listed as Mg oxide, Mg citrate, and Mg aspartate, with the latter two being better absorbed by the gut and also more expensive. I wrote the manufacturer to ask what the proportions of these 3 compounds were, with the assumption that almost all of it was Mg oxide. I received the following response: The Magnesium Caps formula is proprietary. The vast majority is oxide form. 2. Although the capsules are easy to swallow, they do have a thin coating of white powder, perhaps the same material thats inside them. That powder does cause mild irritation/burning in the throat and esophagus unless followed by swallowing ample beverage or food. Though not perfect, this seems like the best Mg product out there for the value, and I plan to purchase it again.

I’m a repeat customer for these Magnesium caps from NOW. I take them at bedtime to help me sleep and avoid leg cramping. I’ve used this same product for several years. I always buy NOW brand vitamins and supplements. This is a great product for anyone looking to improve their sleep (it is not a sleeping pill tho) and help with any type of leg cramping or restless leg issues. As Magnesium is a trace mineral you can’t really be tested to see if you are deficient but many people are. A good supplement can help you sleep and rest better, amongst other things.

First, I want to say from my long experience that NOW products are great! Magnesium is great for men or women. Lowering my blood pressure. at times I take two (its safe) It is also very relaxing and helps to fall asleep! At times or rarely if I get really upset or feel irritable (like most of us human... unless youre a sheep) I take one and Im so relaxed. Relaxes tight muscles and muscles spasm. Its also great to take at menopause or if your period is changing your mood. Magnesium is known to be healthy, Your heart will thank you. Happy Heart Happy Life. I take it for years. Dont take more than two a day (800 mg). Most days I take only one at night at bedtime.

Full daily dose in one easy to swallow capsule. Will keep buying this!

My insomnia is gone! It helps! I wasn’t expecting!!!! I highly recommend it. Buy it it worth it! I take it at night time.

I like the Now brand, and this is a good magnesium supplement. Its not the most effective one Ive taken, but it works and its a lot more cost efficient than the brand that I like the most. I would still recommend this. I take magnesium for sleep and when I get headaches.

This product is awesome! I take one every day. As Women we need this supplement everyday. I found That the company now makes excellent supplements. That being said I purchase all there supplements. I Highly recommend this product.

This product gave me Bloody Stool within 24 hours of taking it. Bleeding stopped when I stopped taking it. I tried it again 2 weeks later and same bloody stool occurred.

I tried these rather than ordering my usual brand based on all of the positive reviews but my restless legs and leg cramps are back. Does not seem to be working.
