I know the one you mean I tried it, it's quite good. The best one I've found is a liquid one ! It's the best rated one off a very popular site that sells everything !! Good luck. Deb
If it is the most popular one, yes, it has helped me way better than the pill form. I believe I absorbed liquids better than pills these days. It helps me sleep better and also with muslce pains. I am bad though, about being taking it religiously and I do notice a definite difference (to the negative side) if I don't take it. Try it, it may work well for you.
Yes!! I swear by it. I also took magnesium daily and did nothing. I find that a level teaspoon of the calcium magnesium citrate powder w/Vit. D3 (400 mg. each of calcium and magnesium, 200 Vit. D3) mixed with cranberry or orange juice before bed time works well and I don't taste it. It doesn't run through me at night and I sleep so much better. I was like you, never sleeping more than 4 hours at a time. The first night I took it, I slept until the alarm went off. I find it helps so much. There is a definite difference between the power and the pill. I take it a few times a week to help me sleep.
I think I started with 1/4 tsp first couple of days to be sure no stomach issues (there weren't) and moved up and it's been just fine. Just be a bit more consistent than me, that is! lol! Hoping it works out well for you!
No flavor. it's just a white powder. I take the powder in a mixed form because I read so much about calcium and magnesium and the benefits of taking them together for bone health and disease prevention. I have joint issues and severe muscle tightness/pain so it's important for me. The powder has all three ingredients I mentioned. I like that it contains vitamin D3 because it's an important supplement for bones as well. Sorry for the confusion.
As everyone has mentioned, I think you'll find it helpful no matter which one you try once you figure out the correct dosage for your body.
Thanks for all your help re product...I ordered last night but have one last query about dosage.
I'm used to taking 400mg of chelated magnesium, so if I now start with the powdered type at 1/4 tsp, I'm only receiving probably less than 100mg, so do you think I should also continue to maybe take 200mg of chelated in morning with my multivitamin, omega 3 and starflower cap...or could it be overkill...in your opinions?
We end up self-diagnosing as GPs don't have much idea about natural remedies.
Hi, I have GERD so unable to tolerate casings on pills, as well as night sweats so recently started taking the dissovable carbonate version, along with zinc for my stomach. This is 200mg so a low dose but seems to be helping as I am sleeping a bit better, might just be wish full thinking, but haven't seen 12.30am for a couple of days, now get to 2.30am before waking but it is early days. Have just succumbed today to my first HRT as 7 years flushes/night sweats just too much.
Hi, the ones I take are in 200mg dissovable tablets, this say's it is 53% of recommended daily allowance, so the 400mg you are already taking gives you 100%. There are side effects to taking too much so not really sure why you need more, what does it say on the tub, it should give you the teaspoon to mg ratio and then maybe just take half citrate and half chelated. Chelated was in tablet form so I could not take it. Take care
