Magnesium Malate, 3,750 mg - 180 Vegetarian Tablets | Supports Muscles and Energy Production*

Update: Changed review from 2 star to 5 STARS! I have continued taking these when life got a little busy and I noticed the side effects were no longer a problem. It obviously was caused by my having switched Magnesium types, even though there was some time in-between. I figured since I paid the money and it helps with bowel movements, just finish the supply and then try a different type. Well, after a while I noticed I was feeling better. So I kept it up. Several months down the line and also adopting regular epsom baths and magnesium in spray form, it has literally changed my life. Originally i started taking this to help with alleviating the painful and frustrating symptoms of fibromyalgia and to help with bowel issues. After two decades of this hanging over my head, the muscle issues are gone and no longer dealing with the debilitating brain fog/chronic fatigue. I still have food intolerances every now and then, but my body is Here's the real kicker. My menstrual cycles have NEVER been regular. I average every 3-6 months and sometimes it's twice a year. After several months of being on this, my menstrual cycles have returned and for the first time in my life, I have a more or less regular cycle. It seems like I'm still "adjusting", that is, my hormones are less of an issue, my sex drive is increasing gradually and it doesn't feel like metal on metal with the headaches when I put the foot to the pedal. I'm sure now I had some form of a severe deficiency. Doctors could pick this up on test and the spray is a very quick way to get it into your muscles. I recommend in addition to taking this, that you also get the Life Flo spray. I knew my life was changed when I found a huge bottle of muscle relaxers in the car that I forgot I'd even filled. I hadn't touched the stuff in months. That said, I would still heed the warning in my previous review, if you are on another supplement, to be sure you "ease" into these. They gave me violent diarrhea and very bad reaction. I know when I read as being linked to my condition, I was skeptical. All I can say is give it a try. The magnesium spray does help and it also will help with anxiety if you're dealing with those symptoms as well. Though, you have to take it for many months and expect you'll be taking it for longer after that to get back to peak condition. I guess if you're like me and have seen every specialist under the sun and been given any real answers about this "disease", then you really have nothing to lose. But again, ease into this supplements... they took more than a month for me to change. For whatever reason, I reacted very poorly when first taking and I think because I'd been on other less-absorbent magnesium for far too long. Old review: I'm sorry that these pills made me poop a lot. I usually take magnesium citrate so I can poop better. The directions on the bottle that say take 3 pills daily made me poop way too much and also made me feel like death. I was taking 2 doses of Spring Valley Magnesium @ 400mg ea most days and occasionally 1 pill a day to manage chronic constipation. I made sure to stop it 4-5 days before I started these so I could be relatively objective on their effectiveness. Seeing as many people can tolerate the 3 pill dose, I started on it right away thinking these must be mild. I soon felt the effects of what felt like my body was being poisoned and felt like I was going to die. I did some googling and it is indeed possible to overdose on magnesium. I fell under the category of what would be considered mild overdose of it is what I experienced. I'm in wonder as to how most others don't seem to have had this issue. I experienced nausea, dizziness, severe abdominal cramps, violent diarrhea, breathlessness and as I was going back and forth to the bathroom constantly and was utterly confused about what I was experiencing. Having been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome and also probably having un-diagnosed IBS (I have generally high pain and trouble when I poop) this was extra painful as it was like the hell's wrath was released on my entire pelvic region. I almost felt like going to the ER then and there but my $300 copay said no and so I waited until it washed out of my system. Against what some would perceive as common sense, I stopped for 24 hours and then started again on two pills. I had some milder diarrhea which aggravated my bladder further and caused some more pain but thankfully only lasted until I couldn't go to the bathroom anymore. After a few days, I went back on for 1 pill. I felt mild cramping that felt like I was on my period. Did not last very long so I wasn't concerned. I take in the recommended amount of water daily but still suffer chronic constipation so it really should not be because of water. I figured it was low magnesium. I started taking magnesium a few years back because of a kidney stone and had high calcium levels come back on blood tests, so I figured I did not have enough magnesium to keep calcium in check. The Spring Valley Magnesium citrate you can buy at Walmart worked fine for me though I felt like maybe I was losing some of the other benefits such as reduction in pain as well losing some water as it did seem to flush my system quite a bit. I looked for a higher quality magnesium supplement so I bought this because of the reviews. I don't necessarily recommend people not to try these. Obviously this has worked wonders for some, but my body has some issue with these and I recommend to most people just starting them to start on 1 pill and not 3. Some people have written they are taking 6.... I don't know in God's name some people are able to do that. I'm 100% certain I would've been in the ER if I even attempted to take more than the 3. It was just a little scary.

Great product, I have been using this for years to treat muscle cramps and spasms.

I discovered Magnesium Malate through an online forum for heart problems. About 2 months ago I woke up with a pounding heart beat and BP through the roof. I thought I was dying. I practiced deep breathing and my heart rate eventually went down. I finally went to the doctor. The news was not good, weight too high and BP too high. I don't want to be on diabetic meds so we agreed I'm going to maintain a lower calorie diet, less sugar and more wholesome foods. Being overweight, high BP and chronic pain from a frozen shoulder that had ran it's course for 2 years was grinding me down to the dirt. I still don't have complete ROM with my shoulder but the pain (which was on the scale of a 9) had dissipated. But the damage to my adrenals, my heart and my muscular skeletal system was still there. I wanted to workout to lose excess weight but I was too darn sore and tired to do so. I started getting panic attacks in public. On one occasion I started sweating and getting the shakes. I had no idea what was going on. I thought maybe I'm hypoglycemic and borderline diabetic but this is just crazy. I had my husband grab some deli meat from the store and a glass of tea. I ate the meat and tea and started to feel better. But these attacks were happening at least two times a week. I thought this is ridiculous, I cannot live this way. So I started taking snacks with me to town. So I decided to try magnesium malate. Within 3 days I felt a difference. (now to be fair I did start using Wellesse liquid glucosamine along with it, so maybe that helps a lot too). My heart palpitations stopped. Panic attacks gone. Sleeping throughout the night. My BP is almost back down to normal and my joint pain is down from a 9 to about a 2. I can live with that for now. I'm giving myself a few days to get my strength back and I'm going to start working out again. I don't want to be one of those seniors who's always complaining about their aches and pains and their doctor being the person they see the most besides their family. I did exhaustive research online about my symptoms and educating myself about WHY I was feeling this way. It's amazing how the little things can completely change the game. I was taking baking soda three times a day with water for GERT. Each tsp has about 1250 milligrams of sodium. I didn't realize it. The GERT was from eating lousy foods, stress and other factors. I stopped the baking soda. Eliminating the lousy foods got rid of the GERT. I cut out most caffeine. I only drink 1 cup of coffee a day, one soda for lunch and the rest of the day water. Once I figured out what I was doing wrong, simply by eliminating the offending items, I'm back on track again. I'm not there yet, and I have a long way to go. This is what I'm doing. 1. Drink plenty of fresh water daily. 2. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. 3. Eliminate most sugar, desserts, fast food and processed foods (which are really high in salt). 4. Take my magnesium three times a day. I set the alarm on my phone to remind me to take my vitamins or I'd forget. 5. Exercise daily. Just do something. I have a timer on my computer. When 20 minutes has passed I get up and do something. Wash a few dishes, comb my hair, clean around the house, something. 6. Take my Wellesse Glucosamine daily. This is how I know the magnesium is working. Yesterday I took 3 pills at once. (Big mistake because they don't absorb that well taking them all at once. I needed a continual flow of magnesium to help me). By the time I came home from town my knee hurt and I could feel my heart doing the pitter patter. Woke up twice last night from slight heart palps. So taking the right way from now on, spacing the pills out (which I feel is extremely important in this supplement) and I'm back on track again. I apologize for the long rant, but if I can help one person who's experiencing what I'm experiencing (I'm a female in my mid 50's BTW) then my review will be not be in vain.

Good product

We bought this product because I had been researched the types of magnesium that will help pain, such as in the case of fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis. I personally take magnesium citrate and have been for years. However, my mother suffers from RA, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia among many other chronic health issues. I read that magnesium malate seems to be the most successful for managing chronic pain. I ordered this bottle and gave it to my mother, reserving about 1/3 of it for myself. I wanted to see if I could tell a difference as compared to the citrate. For myself, I could not see any improvements upon the citrate. It actually seemed that I had to take more of the malate to feel the calmness that I get from the citrate. My husband also tried the malate and felt that he didn't get the relief from restless legs syndrome that he normally feels with the citrate. However, my mother reports that she DOES see some improvement in pain and headaches from the malate. She had never taken the citrate, so she has nothing to compare it to. It is a relief to me that she is experiencing some improvements and I hope that she will continue to take the malate. If she has any further developments, I will update the review. For my husband and myself, we plan to stick with the magnesium citrate for the deficiencies we have. But there seems to be some hope in the malate for my mother.

This product Magnesium Malate is the best medicine. It works so effective! It gives me energy & builds my muscle. I would not trade it for anything else! Thanks!

Nice to only take three servings a day but it is a large pill.

I have tried almost everything for FM with little to no success. The meds that did work for pain relief I could not continue as they were damaging my organs. I am extremely sensitive to most meds and so is my asthma - so anything that depresses the lungs/breathing is not good. After having seen ten doctors, going through most of my savings and trying this, that and the other, I finally came across these pills. Let me say the recommended dosage is three with each meal. However, I always start with half a pill, then work up to what works. If one and a half or even two pills does the job, I don't need three. That being said, you are going to need a pill crusher - these pills are huge, and even cut in half they don't always go down smoothly. I am willing to work around this because these pills do work, so crushing them up and putting them in applesauce or whatever is not that big of a deal to be out of pain. I noticed a decrease in pain in the first 48 hours of taking them. My pain is normally in the 8-10 range, sometimes over and its all I can think about which makes everything else a major chore and ends up on another 'to do' list when I can. So far these pills have not taken the pain away completely, put has bumped it down about 4-5 notches on the pain scale. It not only helps with pain, but 'evens' me out. That is how I used to be before I got FM. It helps tone down the sensitive stimuli response that gets cranked up during a flare. (noise, lights, voices, etc.)I am also taking Now Liquid Vitamin D-3 and a kosher multivitamin. I am also looking into a complex B vitamin, and D-Ribose for energy. I am introducing things slowly as I don't want to overload my system and it's impossible to know what one thing works when you have too much going on. Like anyone who suffers with an ailment, I continue more years of research in trying to get to the bottom of the issue. What I have discovered (being my own guinea pig) is that there are major deficiencies within the make-up of the cell that need to be supplemented correctly with the right mix. We cannot get that through our food source since most soil is nutrient-depleted, and GMO food is what is contributing (if not the main source) to a country full of sick people. If you think this is a joke, check out the countries that have banned Monsantos (GMO frankenfood headquarters), including Japan who recently cancelled their wheat supply with the US due to tainted GMO's. I have cut out every known food problem as well-caffeine, pop, coffee, gluten, etc, though it is not always possible to remain faithful to this, it is an exercise in discipline; and I do notice a difference in how I feel after eating 'bad foods.' Everyone is different and needs to find what works for them. I highly suggest trying this product because if you are like me, you have nothing to lose and have tried everything else.

استغربت المنتج لايوجد عليه تاريخ الانتهاء وهذا جعل عندي شكل في سلامته

جيد

Purchasing it for the second time. I do sports regularly and I used to get cramps often. For the time I use these I don't have the cramps or have them very rarely.
