Mag-Ox 400 Magnesium Supplement, Pharmaceutical Grade Magnesium Oxide with 482 mg Per Dose, 120 Tablets, Pack of 2

I love this twin-pack for the price. I've been taking Magnesium for about 3 years. Retains good heart health and rhythm function, muscle and nerve function, helps with calcium and potassium absorption, and helps support glucose metabolism.

Best I found

These work great! I highly recommend

Magnesium products are used to balance a person's electrolyte panel and promote healthy cardio pressure balance. The Mag-Ox product, in particular, is a good source of magnesium to promote balance among calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium ions. People are often deficient in magnesium and potassium relative to the other ions. This product is designed to break apart and dissolve more quickly than some other products. If you used this product some years ago, then you may have noticed a flakiness in the pill structure. The company has addressed this problem and made them smoother and easier to swallow. Other absorbable magnesium products are available on Amazon and can be used in addition to Mag-Ox. In particular, magnesium taurate, magnesium glycinate/lysinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium citrate. If a magnesium product causes some stomach upset or does not assist you in reaching a magnesium electrolytic balance, then trying another product would be advisable. Work with your healthcare professional to determine which product works best. Supplements should not be taken everyday and a 100% of the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) may also be unnecessary. Skipping to every other day at most at and/or about 50% RDA at most seems to work best for many people. Magnesium products produce other outcomes in addition to promoting magnesium balance. For example, magnesium taurate tends to promote cognitive calming. Magnesium malate and lysinate/glycinate promotes muscle relaxation. Magnesium citrate is quickly absorbed, and its effects may be quickly noticed. Overall, the taurate, malate, and lysinate/glycinate products are balancing alternatives to magnesium oxide. The best time-of-day to take Mag-Ox or other magnesium supplements is in the late evening before retiring. A snack and some milk also protects your stomach from upset and slows the overnight absorption of the product. Since magnesium products have a calming effect, these tend to promote a good night sleep as well. One last comment about using Mag-Ox, magnesium oxide. Be careful if you also take statins. The research I've reviewed indicates that magnesium oxide interferes with the absorption of statins and dulls its cholesterol lowering effectiveness. Statins are usually taken with the major meal of the day—lunch or dinner. If you take statins with your evening meal, then wait at least two or more hours later in the evening before you take these supplements.

Best thing the Dr said to take its cheap and helps with cramps

Quality product

Premenopauses kicking my butt, leg cramps made it impossible to sleep. This magnesium makes me feel like im 30 again. Well when I sleep. I don't wake up screaming from a Charlie horse.

I would give these 10 stars if I could. Other mag 400 pills are HUGE & impossible to swallow. Cutting them in half is like trying to swallow sand. These are far smaller.
