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

Now Vitamins and Minerals are top notch!!

Can’t tell if it does anything

Works great

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 opened the bottle and poured out a capsule and got white powder on my hand? I am disappointed with this purchase as Now Foods is a top notch company that I have used for over a decade. I have watched kids with TICS lose all symptoms of the TICS after two days on Now Foods Magnesium and B Complex 100. Then the childs parents switched to GNC and the childs TICS came back and once they switched back to the Now Foods products in two days the TICS were gone.

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.

I chose NOW because of favorable reviews, and capsule was depicted as 2-tone. I now take 3 supplements that are white. Two of them from NOW. Confusing when organizing.

Great deal and easy to swallow

First two ingredients, Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Citrate. Magnesium Oxide has the lowest absorption rate, and Magnesium Citrate is normally used as a laxative. For two days, Ive been wondering why I got explosive diarrhea after my second cup of coffee. My fault for not reading the label more carefully.

Wish I would have been more careful, I dislike capsules…oh well have a whole bottle to go. Other than that a okay.
