As I've gotten older I've learned that the old saying &quot;getting old is not for sissies&quot; is dead-on accurate. I spend a lot of time working outside on our landscaping in hot and humid Southwest Florida. One of this year's (aging) surprises was waking up in the middle of the night with EXCRUCIATING thigh cramps -- in both thighs at once -- even though I'm very careful about staying hydrated. I've always been prone to the typical muscle cramps in my calves but those are easily walked off. The thigh cramps take it to another level entirely, bad enough that I would have gone to the ER if I was able to drive. But I wasn't.<br /><br />My primary care physician recommended taking 500 mg of magnesium in the morning and prior to going to bed at night. He also recommended LifeExtension specifically because of his satisfaction with their products being what they say they are. So now I take the magnesium caps and have also added some Gatorade Recovery Bars to help with the chemical balancing while working outside. No more thigh cramps! I can't even begin to tell you what a relief that is. If you suffer from the same malady speak to your doctor and see if this approach is appropriate for you.

Comparing it to other magnesium on the market I have gotten good results with this brand. I will recommend it and buy it again.

Anyone looking for a magnesium supplement know that there are numerous forms of the stuff along with numerous recommendations on what form is best for what kind of effect you need. These are primarily Oxide (the cheap basic stuff), along with citrate and succinate (no percentage break down given). They are decent and do the job but if you can tolerate the oxide and citrate forms then your options are basically unlimited and these just join the pack. Not a bad price but not a great price. At least they have a good shelf life (20 months for mine). Frankly, next time I would look for USP certified ones given the price.

Of the many benefits claimed for magnesium supplements, one I can certainly attest to is the utter elimination of my leg cramps from which I suffered for years. A good price for an effective mineral.

My most favorite magnesium tablets. Bought them to help with cramps in my legs. Has worked extremely well. Bonus, it makes you regular too.

I love this magnesium supplement!! It's a trio of magnesium. I sleep better, have less muscle aches after working out, bathroom regularity, and overall great mood. I will continue ordering this brand for a long time to come.
