Easy to take and digest capsules

Not all vitamins are the same. This one definitely makes a difference. Other Magnesium’s have fillers. This one is pure hence the name

Really a great product

I learned most of us are magnesium deficient. I suffered from migraines for the last 8 years. Really strong ones that could last 24 hours and would get them almost every 3-4 days. I started taking this along with my complement multivitamin and got off birth control pill and I have gone 2.5 weeks without a serious migraine , a couple small headaches here and there and didn’t need to take an actual prescription migraine pill. Trying to get off those too. My headaches have been a lot less frequent and definitely not as strong and feel like more of an annoyance than actual pain. I think this is definitely helping in some way.

I manage intense anxiety daily. My psychiatrist is quite forward thinking in her practice and together, we try alternatives before we move to prescriptions. She recommended I try magnesium citrate to help with the tense and rigid muscles I experience when I am feeling anxious, as magnesium has muscle relaxing effects. When taken regularly as a preventative, I do notice my body is not as tense. This does not work for in the moment relief; for the most benefit, does have to be taken regularly, in my experience. The capsules are bigger than I prefer, the benefit far outweighs the capsule size. Also in my experience, taking my morning dose AFTER breakfast and my evening dose AFTER dinner prevents stomach upset; taken before, with food or on an empty stomach guarantees me an upset stomach. As with any supplement, diet or lifestyle change, partner with a medical professional to determine the best course, plan and dosing.

I appreciate Pure Encapsulations’ high quality because so many supplements are filled with junk or don’t actually have what the say they have in them. This magnesium specifically has always worked for what I need it for.

It’s a great product to help keep stool softened. It’s also good for building up magnesium levels since our soils are so depleted of minerals.

It may be easy to swallow, what I didn’t like some off the pills were coming apart in the bottle and some were already apart in the bottle, I was disappointed, I could cry about it, what’s the point.
