Pure EncapsulationsMagnesium (Citrate) - Supplement for Sleep, Heart Health, Cognitive Health, Bone Health, Energy, Muscles, and Metabolism* - with Premium Magnesium - 180 Capsules

I am pregnant in the second trimester. I bought this supplement for constipation. It isn't helping too much with that, but I probably need to take more for it to work. I take 1 capsule at nighttime. What it is helping with is sleep! I have had enough nights with and without it to confidently say it helps me sleep. With it, I fall into a deeper sleep, and stay asleep longer. It is still lighter than usual with crazy dreams, but I stay asleep all night and wake up feeling rested. Without it, I am up and down tossing and turning all night long without ever feeling like I fall into that deeper rem stage. I'm not even sure if this is the best kind of magnesium for that, but it seems to be working for me so I have decided I am not going to go without it again. The magnesium in my prenatal has no noticable effects compared to this. It kicks it relatively fast too so I can take it right as I am laying down. I would recommend.

I read hundreds of reviews on MANY magnesium products and ended up trying this one. So glad i did!! I've had lifelong constipation off and on and recently it became severe. Nearly 5 days, no movement...not even a whisper. Mind you, this was after over a month of taking a 50 Billion highly rated probiotic found on here--that was the beginning of where i now ended up. Also being older and not wanting to take an overkill of a chemical laxative that would cause abrupt relay races to the bathroom, i opted for this form of magnesium with doses i can control. I took two in the morning with a few bites of food and though i heard tummy noises (no discomfort whatsoever happened) but yet no movement by evening either. I read one review that stated if one was really bound up to take 4 in both a.m. and p.m. I took the calculated risk and took 4 in the evening with a larger dinner. I also drink A LOT of water daily normally but sipped on some more before bed. I had a lot of gut movement and noise (again, no discomfort whatsoever) before falling asleep. By morning i had some movement but not much. However, throughout the day and into the next, i continued to have more small movements. No racing to the bathroom like i was on fire. I didn't want to risk taking more that next day as i took a total of 6 in one day. NOT a recommended dose by the bottle....but i was desperate. 24 hours after that i took 2 at dinner. The next morning i woke to a NORMAL and uneventful movement. My guts are finally back to making normal noises along with my natural contractions moving things down the assembly line.I realize this is all pretty much TMI but if you're here and reading this, you are most likely in the same or similar boat and want to know if this stuff works. It's only been a few days for me but this supplement helped me immensely. I'll be taking 2 every p.m. and adjust accordingly along the way if needed. I'll also update this review with it's effectiveness over time. We all react differently to supplements and i hope this helps others as it did for me. My only advice is to take with food as i don't know if it would cause discomfort without, and seeing as how severe my problem was and taking the dose i did, most likely would have.If you stuck around this long, i pray this supplement works for you and my review hopefully helpful in some way.

I've learned that most people are deficient in magnesium and this type of magnesium is great for helping relax and helping with bowel movements. I've been taking this for years and it helps me relax at night for sure. The Pure Encapsulations brand is one of the few supplement brands that I trust because they are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and have high quality control.

This brand and type will give you what you need to help things like leg cramps but will not give you loose bowels as other types of magnesium.

a mi esposo le encantaron y la calidad es buena

Good value with the larger size. Works great. I notice a difference when I miss a day.

Does it's job and my nutritionist really likes this brand of Pure Encapsulations.

My husband takes this everyday, and he loves it.
