Plays well with vitamin D
Found my way to magnesium after adding high-dose vitamin D to my diet (tested low) and then experiencing dull headaches and leg cramps almost daily for a month. Magnesium is one recommended antidote. Had no idea that so many types of magnesium are available, so I spent many hours learning about this interesting mineral in all its facets. I usually experience side effects from any new supplement, which is why I take so few, so I chose this particular formula to minimize potential digestion issues. I expected the worst but have nearly all good news to report. Mild stomach upset for the first few days (taking one cap per day) and then mostly smooth sailing even as I slowly increased the dose. Headaches and leg cramps almost gone after three weeks' use. Bonuses include noticeably deeper sleep and a pronounced feeling of relaxation for hours after taking a dose. Smooth capsules, no powder residue, no taste, no smell. And surprising for my sensitive system in particular, no long-term side effects so far. Do note that magnesium supplements in general tend to have a laxative effect, which in this case is very mild (good or bad depending on your need). Overall, excellent results here from an obviously high-quality product. RESEARCH NOTE FOR ANYONE NEW TO MAG After reading all I could handle in a few days, I was considering two mag options: glycinate (for general relaxation) and malate (for body-ache relief), both among the gentlest and most absorbable forms. Finding both in one formula was an unexpected win for me, and the results have clearly met my needs and hopes. Yours may be different, of course, so do take some time to learn about the different mag types, each with a slightly different physiological effect. (For instance, mag citrate might be a better choice if you're seeking a stronger laxative effect.) If you're too busy for more research, rest assured that this formula's two mag forms are at least among the top recommendations of virtually every reputable research source I found. Not having to choke down a big tablet may be another plus. DELIVERY UPDATE I contacted Innovix this week (August 6, 2015) about the current out-of-stock situation. I received prompt assurance that the product will re-stock here around September 1. I hope this doesn't become a pattern.
